The strike is reported to have killed\u00a0Qais Khazali, one of the people the US named as responsible for storming of US Embassy in Baghdad<\/span>.\u00a0 Also\u00a0Shibl al-Zaydi is now confirmed to have been killed. Shibl was the leader of Kata\u2019ib al-Imam Ali or the Imam Ali Battalions.<\/span><\/p>\n

BAGHDAD (Reuters)<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Air strikes targeting Iraq\u2019s Popular Mobilization Forces umbrella grouping of Iran-backed Shi\u2019ite militias near camp Taji north of Baghdad have killed six people and critically wounded three, an Iraqi army source said late on Friday.<\/p>\n

Two of the three vehicles making up a militia convoy were found burned, the source said, as well as six burned corpses. The strikes took place at 1:12 am local time, he said. (link<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It would appear the U.S. has ongoing excellent intelligence on the movements of key Iranian militia leadership operating in Iraq, and are now working through a list of those targets as they attempt to move around.<\/p>\n
