Explosion Blows Up US Logistics Convoy in Iraq’s Diwaniyah

By Staff, Agencies

Local Iraqi media reported on Sunday that a convoy carrying logistics and weapons belonging to US occupation troops has been destroyed in Iraq's al-Diwaniyah.

The American convoy was destroyed in the southern Iraqi province according to the Saberin news Telegram channel.

The report further noted that the operation was conducted in two stages with "EFP" explosive packages.

Hummers and other armored vehicles that were carrying weapons en route to the US military Ain Al-Assad Base were blown up in the explosion, the report stated.

Dozens of attacks on US occupation troops have been reported since the spring. A piece of legislation approved in the Iraqi parliament in early 2020 after the US assassination of the Islamic Revolution Guard’s Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units then-second-in-command Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis near Baghdad airport has called for an end to the presence of the foreign troops in the country, something that has yet to be fulfilled.
