Crowds gather after US drone strike targets Iran-linked militia leader in Baghdad – video

Crowds gathered around the wreckage left by a US drone strike on a car in Iraq.

The strike, on a main thoroughfare in the Mashtal neighbourhood in eastern Baghdad, killed three members of the powerful Kataib Hezbollah militia, including a high-ranking commander, officials have said.

Days earlier, the US military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three US troops in Jordan in late January
