Washington says Baghdad failed to 'protect' Americans December 30, 2019 at 07:57PM

Washington has accused Iraqi authorities of failing to "protect" US interests, the day after deadly American air strikes against a pro-Iran group sparked anger. At least 25 fighters were killed in Sunday night's attacks, which were in retaliation for the death last week of a US civilian contractor. The United States has blamed the attacks on pro-Iran factions.
