IED explosion targets a convoy of the Coalition in southern Iraq

A blast from a roadside kaboom reportedly hit a convoy of the US-led Global coalition in Dhi Qar on Sunday.

A source told Shafaq News agency that the earth-shattering kaboom targeted a supply convoy of the Coalition inside the territory of the Dhi Qar governorate.

The attack resulted in no human casualties and the convoy resumed its march toward its destination, according to the source.

Observers believe that Iran-backed Iraqi factions orchestrate these nearly daily attacks against the convoys of the US-led Coalition in Iraq. The frequency of the attacks increased drastically since the liquidation of the Commander of Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani
, and the Deputy Head of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces-PMF) Commission, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, in Baghdad in January 2020.

#1  What are we doing still convoying around Iraq. Why haven’t we arranged for a disastrous buyout where we betray everyone who helped us and abandoned huge cashes of weapons and machinery?
