美國無人機在伊拉克擊斃曾殺害海軍陸戰隊員的伊斯蘭國武裝分子
The U.S. military said Sunday one of its drones in Iraq has killed an Islamic State fighter it believes was responsible for a missile attack last month that killed a U.S. Marine.
A spokesman for the U.S.-led operations against the militants, Colonel Steve Warren, said the drone attack killed Jasim Khadijah, described as a former Iraqi officer and "a rocket expert," and five other Islamic State fighters.
Warren said Khadijah had controlled the Islamic State rocket attack that killed Staff Sergeant Louis Cardin and wounded eight other Marines at an artillery position in the Makhmur area of northern Iraq.
Cardin was the second U.S. combat death since the start of a U.S. campaign to fight Islamic State in Iraq in 2014.美國軍方星期天表示，在伊拉克實施的一次無人機空襲，打死了一名據信對上個月一次火箭襲擊事件負責的伊斯蘭國戰鬥人員。那次襲擊事件造成一名美國海軍陸戰隊隊員喪生。
美國領導的打擊伊斯蘭國激進分子軍事行動的發言人沃倫上校表示，無人機襲擊擊斃了賈西姆·哈迪賈，以及其他5名伊斯蘭國戰鬥人員。哈迪賈據稱是一名前伊拉克官員和火箭專家。
沃倫上校表示，對伊拉克北部馬克穆爾地區一處美軍炮兵陣地發動的火箭襲擊，是由哈迪賈操作實施的。那次襲擊導致路易斯·卡丁上士喪生，另外8名海軍陸戰隊員受傷。
卡丁上士是美國打擊伊斯蘭國的軍事行動2014年開始以來，第二名陣亡的美國軍人。
