[Rudaw] Iraqi forces thwarted an apparent planned missile launch targeting al-Asad base, where US forces are stationed. Forces found and "were able to take control of three Grad type missiles," Yahya Rasoul, spokesperson for the Joint Operations Command, announced Saturday evening. They were found in the hills of al-Dulab area, north of Ramadi, and were "aimed at Ain al-Asad base," he stated. The missiles were connected to electronic timers. The forces "managed to stop the timer 15 minutes before the launch," Rasoul said. US forces are stationed at al-Asad. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... visited the location during his surprise Christmas trip. Rasoul did not give information on who is suspected to be behind the missile launch. |
