US Sending Missiles and Drones
December 27, 2013 by staff
US Sending Missiles and Drones, The United States is sending missiles and drones to Iraq to counter attacks by al-Qaida, which have killed more than 8,000 Iraqis this year, officials said.
A shipment of 75 Hellfire missiles was sent to Iraq last week and 10 ScanEagle reconnaissance drones are scheduled to be delivered by March, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki warned Sunday al-Qaida-backed insurgents are “seeking to gain control of territory inside the borders of Iraq.”
The affiliate, she said, is a “common enemy of the United States and the Republic of Iraq, and a threat to the greater Middle East region.”
