An Iran-backed militia may be behind the attack on Friday on a military base in Iraq's Kirkuk that killed a US civilian contractor and injured numerous American troops, a US source told Military times.


We think the attack was carried out by Iran-backed IMIS armed miltia in Iraq, the source said.

Several attacks were carried out against Iraqi military bases that contain US troops.
