US bombings in Iraq and Syria leave dozens dead and "disastrous consequences" are feared. They went against pro-Iran militiamen, in retaliation for the attack that killed three American soldiers in Jordan.
The Iraqi government reported that at least 16 people, including civilians, died in "multiple bombings" against the Al Qaim and Akashat areas, close to the border with Syria. The official death toll in eastern Syria has not been released so far, although the country's Defense Ministry said the bombings caused "significant damage to public property"
