A fresh spate of rockets targeted an Iraqi base north of Baghdad on Saturday where foreign troops are deployed, Iraqi and US security sources told AFP, in a rare daytime attack.
It was the 23rd such attack since late October on installations acrossΒ IraqΒ where US troops and diplomats are based, with the latest rounds growing deadlier.
None of the attacks have ever been claimed but the US has blamed hardline elements of the Hashed al-Shaabi, a network of armed groups incorporated into the Iraqi state.
At least 33 rockets hit Iraqi air defence units at the Taji air base
