[Shafaq News] An Iranian-backed Iraqi militia group is being linked to the murder of a U.S. citizen shot full of holes in Baghdad last week, Fox news said.
The victim has been identified as 45-year-old Tennessee native Stephen Troell.
At a presser on Tuesday, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attack and issued a warning to those who may be planning on carrying out violence in the country: "This was a cowardly crime against an American citizen and resident of our country who is known among the community... This is a red line for us. Those who want to test our government in terms of security will fail." al-Sudani has been in office since Oct. 28. |
