American Drone crashes near Baghdad: Report.

An American surveillance drone has crashed northwest of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, according to a report.

The Iraqi Arabic-language Burath news agency cited informed sources on Friday saying that the drone, registered under the number “52187,” had probably crashed due to hacking or electronic jamming from an “unknown source.”

The report said that the aircraft, which had fallen in a farming area, appeared undamaged. Iraqi authorities later transported the drone to an unspecified location.

No further details regarding the drone have been disclosed. American and Iraqi authorities have yet to confirm the incident.

The report comes nearly a month after Iraqi sources said that “unidentified drones” had attacked a base belonging to Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in the Arab country’s Salahudin Province, killing one PMF member and injuring another four.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi later ordered an investigation into the incident.

A few days after the attack, the Arabic-language al-Ahd news website cited informed security sources saying that the Hashd al-Sha’abi positions were targeted by three Israeli Harop missiles fired from Israeli F-16 aircraft which had infiltrated the southeastern province of Anbar.

Western diplomats speaking to the Saudi-owned Asharq al-Awsat daily also confirmed the Israeli attack but attributed the assault to an Israeli F-35.

The attack on the Hashd al-Sha’abi base comes as the United States has sought to pressure Baghdad against the PMF.

Israeli military authorities had also previously threatened to attack the anti-terrorist force.

The PMU, also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, formed and joined forces with the Iraqi military in 2014 after the Daesh Takfiri terror group launched a campaign of bloodshed and destruction against the nation.
