BAGHDAD, Iraq - Terrorists fired 16 rockets into the International Zone from surrounding Baghdad districts in four separate attacks during the morning and early afternoon of March 26.
At approximately 5:30 a.m., five 107 mm rockets impacted the IZ, four more 107 mm rockets struck at approximately 9:15 a.m., three 107 mm rockets in the third attack, and four 107 mm rockets at approximately 2:50 p.m.
One Coalition force Soldier, two U.S. civilians, and one Iraqi Army soldier were wounded in the attack. Several structures and one vehicle were also damaged.
"These attacks are being conducted by rogue criminal elements," said Col. Allen Batschelet, chief of staff, Multi-National Division - Baghdad. "They are terrorists and murderers."
Uh...OK.
Barrage rockets. Ineffective militarily unless fired in large groups over an area. Made in Iran.
And where did they get the rockets???
These types of rocket attacks are Palestinian tactics.
Good to see you posting. Be safe.
Iran.
Uh...OK.
How many 'booms' have you heard?
Sadr says the ceasefire is still on.....so who is sending the rockets?
Hi. Glad to see your posts. Head down and all that. Best wishes.

How come some of these aren’t confiscated, brought back into Iran and fired back into their own population?
That is their immoral game, not ours.
Mookie said that???
.....so who is sending the rockets?
Iran.
It’s not a game, and taking it isn’t being moral, just stupid.
Maybe we should make a bunch of rockets that look Syrian sourced and blow some of their military sites up.
Maybe hit a nuclear site up as well. :-)
One heck of a lot more than sixteen. All day yesterday...all day today...countless.
When it is time for war with Iran then there will be war. In the meantime descending to their level does nothing to them and doesn’t help us.
Be great if bombs and rockets went off in Iranian weapons factories.
When the war starts then it will be very noisy. In the meantime the nook mecha crowd sounds just like OBL. Just exactly the same.
Glad you checked in .. we’re
praying. Keep us posted .. ;)
