Barrage of rockets hit US coalition base north of Baghdad – Iraqi security officials
A barrage of rockets hit a base housing US and other coalition troops north of Baghdad, Iraqi security officials said Saturday, just days after a similar attack killed three servicemen, including two Americans.
The attack was unusual because it occured during the day. Previous assaults on military bases housing US troops typically occurred overnight. Wednesday's attack on Camp Taji was the deadliest to target US troops in Iraq since a late December rocket attack on an Iraqi base. That attack killed a US contractor and set in motion a series of attacks that brought Iraq to the brink of war.
