Iraqi security officials report explosion at US-led coalition’s Baghdad airport base
2024-09-11
[IsraelTimes] Iraqi security officials say a kaboom was heard late Tuesday at a US-led coalition’s base at Baghdad airport, a day before Iran’s president was due to visit.

The Iraqi forces’s statement, published by state news agency INA, says they are unable to determine "the origin of the earth-shattering kaboom" but that air traffic is continuing normally and no flights were interrupted.
What odds that it was not the work of one of the Shiite paramilitary militias on Iran’s payroll, dear Reader?
