(Worthy News) – The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was targeted by multiple rockets Thursday.
U.S. officials said the attacks were launched by “terrorist groups” but did not say who specifically was responsible. A woman and a child from a nearby school were wounded in the attack, but a State Department official told CNN that U.S. personnel in the area are safe.
“The U.S. Embassy compound was attacked this evening by terrorist groups attempting to undermine Iraq’s security, sovereignty, and international relations,” the embassy said in a tweet. “We have long said that these sorts of reprehensible attacks are an assault not just on diplomatic facilities, but on the sovereignty of Iraq itself.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
