Fourteen rockets struck outside Irbil international airport near where U.S. forces are based in northern Iraq late Monday, killing one non-US civilian contractor and wounding five Americans, according to U.S. defense officials.
President Joe Biden has been briefed on the attack, which sparked fears of a new escalation in the region, according to a White House official.
