Iraqi base attacks continue as Danes gear up for NATO training lead
Attacks continue to target bases in Iraq hosting international coalition and Iraqi forces. The Danish parliament has, meanwhile, voted to take leadership of the NATO training mission beginning in December and send a frigate to the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which much Iraqi oil passes, beginning in late summer.
Rockets targeted Iraq’s Camp Taji north of Baghdad on June 13, the latest in a string of attacks widely believed to have been perpetrated by Iran-linked armed groups operating in the country.
No casualties were reported in the latest attack. Two Americans and one British soldier were killed in a previous rocket attack on Camp Taji in March.
