DUBAI - The Al Qaeda linked Army of Ansar al-Sunna group claimed responsibility for an attack against a US military base Tuesday in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which reportedly killed at least 22 people, in a statement attributed to it on an Islamist website.
“One of the mujahedeen of the Army of Ansar al-Sunna carried out a martyrdom-seeking (suicide) operation in a restaurant of the infidel occupation forces at the Ghazlani camp in Mosul,” said the statement, whose authenticity could not be independently confirmed.
US media, citing Pentagon officials, said at least 22 people were killed and more than 50 injured in a lunchtime blast at the base in Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq.
Fox News reported that three rockets slammed into a dining hall on the base.
