Attack at US Base in Iraq Kills 2
BAGHDAD (AP) - A series of rockets or mortar rounds struck Camp Victory, killing two members of the U.S.-led coalition and wounding 40 other people on the sprawling headquarters for U.S. forces in Iraq, the military said Thursday. Most troops stationed at the base are American but there are small contingents from other cuontries. The military said those wounded in Wednesday's attack included two "third-country nationals," meaning they were not Americans or Iraqis. More details on the attack were not immediately released. U.S. bases in Iraq frequently face so-called "indirect fire," the military's term for a rocket or mortar attack, but Camp Victory is well-entrenched on the capital's western outskirts and such heavy casualties are rare.
