A civilian contractor who died during the rocket attack on an Iraqi base hosting US-led coalition troops Wednesday was a US national, the Pentagon said. "There are no current reports of US servicemember injuries and all are accounted for. A US civilian contractor suffered a cardiac episode while sheltering and sadly passed away shortly after," the Pentagon said in a statement. After a retaliation last week to earlier such rocket attacks, the White House said President Joe Biden was determined "to act to protect Americans" from such threats. pmh/ec
