An unmanned aerial vehicle—an MQ-1 Predator—crashed five miles southeast of Baghdad Airport on Jan. 17. US Central Command Air Forces officials report no damages, no injuries, and no indications that the incident was due to hostile activity.
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
