US carried out an airstrike in Iraq killing high-ranking member of an armed group linked to Iran
The United States says an airstrike in Iraq has killed at least one high-ranking member of an armed group linked to Iran.
Four explosions were reported in the Rusafa district of Baghdad.
At least three people were killed when a car exploded.
US forces have recently carried out a series of strikes targeting Kataib Hezbollah.
The armed group is blamed for the killing of three US soldiers in a drone strike in Jordan last month.
Al Jazeera’s Mahmoud Abdelwahed is in Baghdad to explain why the Iraqi government is growing displeased with the US.
