Breaking: 3 captured in US Embassy Rocket Attack
Breaking - the US tracked via helicopter/ground the 3 after the rocket was launched and arrested them in So. Baghdad...hopefully they fell down ... a lotBAGHDAD, Iraq — At least two people were killed and four wounded in an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Saturday evening. All casualties were Americans. One civilian and one Navy sailor, both assigned to the embassy, were killed in the rocket attack, a military official said, on condition of anonymity. Of the four injured Americans, two were military, one was a civilian and the fourth was as yet undetermined, the military official said. A rocket landed outside the southern edge of the palace that houses embassy employees a little past 7 p.m. The embassy is approximately 350 yards from the nearest border of the heavily fortified Green Zone (search). The area is protected by concrete barriers and a 10-foot-high fence, which means the attack may have been the result of indirect fire. Posted by: Frank G 2005-01-29 |
