Thursday, 13 September 2007


BAGHDAD, SEPT 12 (AP): Insurgents fired rockets or mortars at the sprawling garrison that houses the headquarters of American forces in Iraq, killing one person and wounding 11 coalition soldiers, the US command said.
The command said Tuesday the person killed was a "third country national," meaning someone who is not an American or Iraqi.
Most troops stationed at Camp Victory are American, but other coalition soldiers are based at the complex near Baghdad International Airport. No further details on the attack were immediately released.
