Iraqi Militia Leader Vows Retaliation for Deaths in U.S. Strike

@G3News: The commander of an Iraqi militia backed by Iran is pledging to retaliate against the U.S. after an airstrike along the Iraq-Syria border killed four of his fighters last month.

“We want an operation that befits those martyrs… Even if it comes late, time is not important,” Abu Alaa al-Walae, the leader of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, told The Associated Press, referring to the four militia members killed in the U.S. airstrike.

“We want it to be an operation in which everyone says they have taken revenge on the Americans,” al-Walae said. “It will be a qualitative operation (that could come) from the air, the sea, along Iraq’s border, in the region or anywhere. It’s an open war."
