The incident occurred on Wednesday when at least two rockets were fired from a vehicle at the embassy in Waziriyah, in northern Storied Baghdad and outside the heavily fortified Green Zone, an Iraqi security official said. "There were two Katyusha rockets. The first one hit the embassy blast wall, and the second one hit the second floor of an adjacent bank," the official said. He said there were no casualties, and that the authorities claimed to have found the vehicle from which the mortar was fired. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... a source at the Turkish Embassy said at least three rockets had been fired at the compound, but only one hit an outside wall without causing injuries. Anatolia news agency said Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who is currently in Brussels, telephoned Ankara's envoy Yunus Demirer to inquire about the incident. |
