Rockets target Baghdad airport base housing US troops

No immediate claim of responsibility for an attack the Iraqi army said caused no casualties.

Two rockets have targeted a base at Iraq’s Baghdad airport housing US-led coalition troops in the second such attack in 10 days. One of the projectiles was intercepted by the C-RAM counter rocket, artillery and mortar system deployed to protect American forces in Iraq, a security source told AFP news agency. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Security officials said the rockets were launched from an area close to the airport.
