Iranian-backed militia blames US and Israel for attacks on bases in Iraq

Claim that drone strike caused blast near Baghdad follows leaked findings of Iraqi inquiry

An Iranian-backed militia in Iraq has accused the US and Israel of involvement in an alleged drone strike on a munitions warehouse near Baghdad last week, the latest in a series of mystery explosions at similar bases.

The claim came after the findings of an Iraqi government inquiry into the huge blast at the facility of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) were leaked.
