Iraqi prime minister condemns US strike on a high-ranking militia commander
Fox News
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said the U.S. drone strike in central Baghdad that killed a militia commander was a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
A U.S. defense official confirmed that Thursday’s drone strike on a vehicle containing the militia leader and three other militia members was authorized as he was responsible for recent attacks on U.S. personnel.
Sudani said Friday that the U.S. had bypassed the Iraqi government, which is "the body authorized to impose the law." In his statement, he also reiterated calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country.
