At least one US embassy worker in Baghdad injured after Sunday rocket attack

[Shapur Zol Aktaf]

Rockets struck the US embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone on Sunday, injuring at least one member of staff at the embassy.

Three of five rockets fired hit the embassy, a security source told AFP. The embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The attack injured some embassy staff, Al Arabiya reported. One rocket hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time while two others landed near by, a security source said.

The embassy has been regularly hit by rockets in recent months, but none of the attacks have been claimed. Washington has blamed Iran-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq.

Sunday's attack was the second in a week on the embassy, after three rockets landed near the mission on January 20.

A US source said at least one rocket landed near the deputy ambassador's residence last Monday.

The attack on Sunday was the first time a direct hit was reported.

It took place earlier in the day than usual, with booms heard on the western bank of the Tigris River at exactly 7.30pm.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi and Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Halbusi condemned the attack, saying it risked dragging their homeland into war.

Attacks on the embassy occurred this month after the US killed Iran's most senior general, Qassem Suleimani, and a high-ranking Iraqi militia leader, Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis, near Baghdad airport.

On the afternoon of January 8, two rockets landed in the Green Zone, hours after Iran launched dozens of missiles at two Iraqi military bases housing US troops.

Rumours?
The Katyusha missile attack that hit the US embassy in Baghdad two hours ago killed one American soldier and wounded five American civilian employees working at the embassy. The wounded will be transferred to Kuwait.

“The shelling that targeted the American Embassy building and its surroundings wounded three people who were evacuated immediately by the American side,” the police source told Anadolu Agency in condition of anonymity due to restrictions to speak to media.

Let’s see if the Americans will fight back or leave. Just like when they did in Vietnam they bombed the north Vietnamese forces for the last time before they ran away the same in Lebanon when their marines got killed they bombed Lebanon but they never came back.

No offense but I wouldn’t talk if I was in your place since Americans kill your civilians with drones all the time.

They must leave Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan, these are the short term goals. In long term, they should leave Bahrain, Emirates, Oman, Saudi, Kuwait.
