Rockets Target U.S. Embassy in Iraq, One Month into Truce
Several rockets targeted the U.S. embassy in Iraq's capital late Tuesday, security sources told AFP, the first such attack since pro-Iran factions agreed to stop targeting the compound last month.
AFP reporters heard several large blasts, followed by rapid-fire sounds and red flares lighting up the sky, indicating that the embassy's C-RAM rocket defense system was deployed.
