Drone attack in residential Baghdad neighbourhood: AFP

An upscale Baghdad neighbourhood came under drone attack Saturday morning, a security official told AFP, with one drone targeting an Iraqi security service building.

The drone "carried out the attack on a communications building," the official said, adding that the building houses an Iraqi security agency that works with U.S. advisors in Iraq, part of an international anti-jihadist coalition.

Another drone, filming the operation, crashed into a private members' sports club popular with Iraqi elite and foreign diplomats, according to the same source.
