The Pentagon said Sunday that more US military troops are going to Iraq after an Islamic State rocket attack that killed a Marine and seriously injured others at a newly-established US base in the northern Iraq town of Makhmur, southeast of the ISIS-stronghold at Mosul.
The undisclosed number of troops will be a detachment from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit and will support Iraqi forces and international ground operations,
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
