Rockets Target Iraq Parliament Speaker's Home, 2 Injured

Three rockets landed from the home of Mohammed al-Halbussi in the Gurma district of Anbar province, west of the capital Baghdad, sources told AFP.

Two children were wounded Tuesday night when rockets were fired towards the home of Iraq's speaker of parliament, security sources said.

Three Katyusha rockets landed some "500 metres" (1,640 feet) from the home of Mohammed al-Halbussi in the Gurma district of Anbar province, west of the capital Baghdad, a security source told AFP.

The attack came hours after Iraq's top court confirmed his re-election as speaker.

Halbussi was the target of the attack, but it was not clear if he was at home at the time, the source added, requesting anonymity.
