US Eliminates Hezbollah Commander In Iraq

He was killed by a drone striking his car.

The US in Baghdad eliminated the commander of the Kataib Hezbollah militant group, who was responsible for attacking US troops in the region. This is reported by CNN.

According to journalists, the U.S. military struck the terrorist's vehicle with a drone.

"There are no signs of collateral damage or civilian casualties," the journalists quoted the US military's Central Command as saying.

Sources told reporters that the eliminated man was Wisam Mohammed Saber al-Saedi.

Baghdad police said the strike hit the SUV in a predominantly Shiite neighbourhood in the east of the city.

The US official told media that Iraq had not been notified in advance that the United States wanted to strike in Baghdad. A spokesman for President Joe Biden's administration said the strike targeting the Kataiba Hezbollah commander does not mark the end of a series of retaliatory attacks, and more attacks will take place in the coming days in response to the killing of the three US soldiers.
