Governments sometimes resort to terrorism to achieve short-term goals. This is no secret. Even the leader of the war against terror , the United States, is not averse to using terrorism when it suits Washington to do so, either directly or indirectly through proxies.

On April 15, a drone laden with explosives targeted military facilities hosting US troops in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), but resulted in no casualties. On the same day, rocket fire on a Turkish military base in Mosul’s Bashiqa region killed one Turkish solider.
