| 2007-11-07 |
| Extremists fired three rockets in an attempt to hit Camp Taji Nov. 3, missing their intended target and destroying two civilian homes near the city of Taji. After hearing explosions, Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st “Ironhorse” Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, operating out of a nearby outpost, responded to the scene where the rockets impacted in the village to find Iraqi civilian firefighters already at the site. The Soldiers discovered one house was destroyed and another was on fire. In a little more than an hour, the local fire fighters had extinguished the fires. There were no civilian or Coalition casualties from the rocket attack. Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces are currently investigating to find those responsible for destroying the homes. |
