Security forces seize a rocket launchpad in Saladin


The deputy commissioner of Tuz Khurmatu, Hasan Zein al-Abideen, revealed that two Katyusha rocket launchpads were seized in the district, in Saladin.

Zein al-Abideen told Shafaq News agency that the launchpads were found after two rockets landed at two different sites in the governorate. No casualties were recorded.

Al-Hashd al-Shaabi and the security forces have launched a search campaign to pursue the ISIS turbans to whom belongs the rocket launchpad, according to Zein al-Abideen.

The mentioned area is still considered a dangerous hotspot in which ISIS turbans still hide.
Rudaw adds:
The rockets landed near the Bastamli and Chardakhli areas in the province's north, with the launchers also found in the same area, according to Tuz Khurmatu mayor Hassan Zain al-Abdin.

Zain al-Abdin said that one of the missiles landed in an area between the Saraya al-Salam militia forces, founded by Shiite holy man Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
, and a PMF force. The whereabouts of the second missile remains unknown.

"The rockets may have just been a message," the mayor said, adding that the security forces have launched an investigation into the attack.

No group has grabbed credit for the attack yet. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
 similar rocket attacks in the country are often attributed to Iranian-backed Iraqi militias.
