More US troops to Iraq after Marine killed in ISIS attack
The Pentagon said Sunday that more US military troops are going to Iraq after an Islamic State rocket attack that killed a Marine and seriously injured others at a newly-established US base in the northern Iraq town of Makhmur, southeast of the ISIS-stronghold at Mosul.
The undisclosed number of troops will be a detachment from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit and will support Iraqi forces and international ground operations,
