UK confirms Royal Army Medical Corps member killed in rocket attack on Taji coalition base in Iraq, that left 3 dead
The UK Ministry of Defense has confirmed that a British serviceman was killed in a barrage of rockets fired at a joint base in Iraq, a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps. Two American soldiers also perished in the attack.
“Last night’s attack on UK and coalition personnel was a cowardly and retrograde act,” UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in a statement after the MOD announced the casualty early on Thursday morning. “The people that did this are not friends of Iraq.”
