Erbil airport has been attacked several times in the past year, including by drones carrying explosives.

US officials blame previous attacks on Iran-aligned Shiite militias, who vowed to keep the fight going until the remaining US troops leave the country, estimated at 2,500.

US forces lead an international coalition whose mission is to help Iraqi forces fight the remnants of the radical group ISIS.
