At least two rockets hit near U.S. Embassy in Baghdad: witnesses
BAGHDAD – Two rockets hit near the U.S. Embassy in Iraq's capital Sunday, witnesses told AFP, hours after the ambassador was summoned over a U.S. strike that killed top Iraqi and Iranian commanders. Sunday's attack was the second night in a row that the Green Zone was hit and the 14th time over the last two months that U.S. installations have been targeted. A third rocket simultaneously hit a family home outside the Green Zone, wounding four, medical sources told AFP. Ties between Iraq and the U.S. have deteriorated after an American drone attack Friday on the Baghdad international airport that killed Iran's Maj. The precision strike came just days after a pro-Iran mob attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
