US provided intelligence for Iraq strike in Syria: Pentagon

The United States provided intelligence to Iraq for airstrikes it conducted inside Syria in retaliation for recent bomb attacks in Baghdad, the Pentagon said Friday.


Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi said he had ordered the Iraqi air force to strike ISIS positions inside Syria.

"Yes we were aware, yes we supported it as well with information," Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters.
