New missile attack targets airport hosting US forces in Iraq

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:20 A.M.) – A new missile attack was reportedly at an Iraqi military base that is hosting the U.S. Armed Forces, local sources said on Tuesday.

According to the sources, at least two Katyusha missiles targeted the an near the Baghdad Airport, causing a brief explosion in the process.

The sources said two missiles specifically targeted the Center for Diplomatic Support in Baghdad, which hosts officials of the international coalition.

No information has been released about any loss of life or property. Furthermore, no one has claimed responsibility for this latest attack.

Military sites in Iraq belonging to the International Coalition have been targeted by similar attacks in the past few days, despite the seizure of a Katyusha launcher near Baghdad this week.
