A rocket attack at a U.S.-led military base in Kurdish northern Iraq on Monday killed a civilian contractor and wounded five other people including a U.S. service member, according to initial reports, the U.S. coalition in Iraq said.
It was the most deadly attack to hit U.S.-led forces for almost a year in Iraq, where tensions have escalated between U.S. forces, their Iraqi and Kurdish allies on one side and Iran-aligned militias on the other.
A coalition spokesman said on Twitter the attack hit coalition forces in the Kurdish regional capital of Erbil, and that more details would follow.

WNU Editor: Reports are saying that this attack was launched by a Shia militia group with links to Iran. If true .... the Iranians and their allies in Iraq are testing President Biden.

Iran is confident that the Biden admin will do nothing.
Why should they? Some random yahoos shoot off a missile or two and kill a contractor. BFD.
Go peel yer taters.
Sleepy Joe will have words, words only and will go back to bed.
Old Joe will not have words, but he will repeat word fed to him.
9:24 PM
Certainly not a 'BFD' to you...
(I got yer taters right here, boy)
Some random yahoos do not have missiles unless they are ANTIFA, other Democrats or Iranian backe3d Shia.
Joking yeah?
Russ
Biden in charge less than one month. Trump in four years and he did shit
Bite the apple and phuck the corps
Fazman,
What joke?
- The joke is on you.
- The joke is on me.
- The joke is on the average American citizen.
ANTIFA has a T.O.E. ergo they are an army and not a terror group given its size and activity.
S = SIZE
A = ACTIVITY
L = LOCATION
U = UNIT
T = TIME
E = EQUIPMENT
The equipment of ANTIFA might be pepper spray, bear spray, lasers to blind cops. fists, 2 X 4's, an occasional firearm, fireworks (Which have been banned because they take off hands and blind) is that much different than the Saal-Schutz/Schutzstaffel, SA or Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe grew its pilot numbers by glider clubs. The glider clubs were 'civilian'. Those glider clubs did not hurt the Poles, the Russians, or the French.
Do you remember what happened to the Boy Scouts? Hitler got rid of them. Good thing, huh!? The Hitler Youth was an improvement.
Like the NAZIS, ANTIFA are to found in legislatures as members.
The KKK was the para military arm of the Democrat Party. You do not think that OWS, BLM or AMNTIFA are not the paramilitaries of the Democrat Party.
I use to think that the Democrats having a paramilitary arm was in the rear view mirror and literally before my time. God! Was I fucking stupid!
"Some random yahoos do not have missiles unless they are ANTIFA, other Democrats or Iranian backed Shia."
So yes, IMO it is true and not a joke.
Good Day mate.
