BAGHDAD: A pro-Iran group in Iraq vowed Thursday to stop attacking the US embassy in Baghdad for five days, but only under certain conditions, with strikes targeting other locations in the country. After a wave of strikes on the US embassy in Iraq’s capital Baghdad in recent days, AFP journalists reported no drone or rocket attacks on Wednesday night. But on Thursday an explosion was heard near Irbil’s international airport in the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan region, said AFP journalists who also saw smoke rising near the fence. A witness said two similar explosions were heard in the morning.
