A rocket attack in northern Iraq killed a contractor and wounded several others, including a US service member, on Monday, in the deadliest attack against a US target in the country in over almost a year.
The rockets hit inside and near a military airbase occupied by the US-led coalition at Erbil international airport.
Two US officials said the contractor who was killed was not American. The coalition said five other contractors were hurt, without elaborating.
A spokesperson from the Kurdish Regional Government s health ministry said that one of the injured was in a critical condition.
