Two rockets target US diplomatic and military infrastructures overnight in Iraq just over a week after unprecedented arrests by Iraqi security forces to prevent such attacks

Unused Katyusha rockets found by the Iraqi army are seen in this picture provided by Iraqi Media Security Cell, March 14, 2020.

Iraqi government officials said the raid would serve as a "message" to deter future attacks, but early on Sunday, militants made another attempt. The attempts came just hours after the US embassy tested a new rocket defence system known as a C-RAM, according to a senior Iraqi security source. Deputy speaker Hassan al Kaabi slammed the trial as "provocative" and "unacceptable" as it could put residential areas in danger.

The US blames the attacks on Kataeb Hezbollah, a Tehran-backed faction within Iraq's state-sponsored network of armed units known as the Hashd al Shaabi.
