The Air Force has lost another unmanned aerial vehicle with the crash Monday of an MQ-1 Predator in Iraq. US Central Command Air Forces officials released only the time—about 1:30 p.m. local time—and approximate location—near al Muqdadiya. The Air Force will form an accident investigation board.
The U.S. began extensive air and artillery strikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria on Dec. 19 in retaliation for the killing of three Americans on Dec. 13 by a gunman affiliated with ISIS, U.S. officials said.
