▪︎Rocket attack at Baghdad airport kills Iraqi paramilitary members▪︎
Nighttime incident occurred amid tensions with the US after Iraqi protesters attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad.
At least five members of an Iraqi paramilitary group and two of their "guests" were killed when rockets believed to be fired by US forces hit their vehicles, as they were traveling at Baghdad's international airport.
Sources from the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) told Al Jazeera that the rockets destroyed two vehicles carrying "high profile guests", who had arrived at the airport and were being escorted by a PMF public relations official.
The identities of the PMF members and guests have not been released.
Al Jazeera's Osama bin Javaid, reporting from Baghdad, said the incident appeared to be a targeted strike.
PMF sources believe that the strike was carried out by the US.
AFP news agency, meanwhile, reported that at least eight individuals were killed in the attack.
Iraq's Security Media Cell, which releases information regarding Iraqi security, earlier said that at least three Katyusha rockets landed near the cargo hall of the airport.
Witnesses in the area also told Al Jazeera that they could hear the sounds of sirens and helicopters in the air following the pre-dawn attack.
The area of the incident has been cordoned off, authorities told Al Jazeera, but the international airport remains in operation.
Our correspondent added that the attack took place near the base of the US-led coalition forces…..
