Iraq frees pro-Iran commander held for activist murder | Borneo Bulletin Online

KARBALA, IRAQ (AFP) – Iraqi authorities freed a pro-Iran commander on Wednesday two weeks after he was arrested over the murder of a pro-democracy activist, as a booby-trapped drone struck Baghdad’s airport – a signature method used by pro-Iranian forces in the Middle East.
The drone struck the capital’s airport, where United States (US) troops are based, an hour after five rockets were fired at an airbase to the north where US sub-contractors operate, security officials said.
It is the fourth time in less than two months that such devices have been used in Iraq to target US interests, a form of attack also used by pro-Iran Huthi rebels in Yemen.
