2 Americans, 1 Brit dead after 18 rockets hit base in Iraq housing US troops, military says


Two Americans and one Brit were killed as approximately 18 Katyusha rockets hit an Iraqi base housing U.S. troops Wednesday, the U.S. military said in a statement. "The Coalition @CJTFOIR confirms more than 15 small rockets impacted Iraq’s Camp Taji base hosting Coalition troops, March 11 at 7:35 p.m. (Iraq Time)," Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) spokesperson Col. Myles Caggins said on Twitter. The U.S. military could not confirm who is responsible for Wednesday's attack but one source told Fox News that "ISIS doesn't have this capability." The Camp Taji attack is under investigation by the Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces, U.S. Central Command said. The attack marks the largest on a U.S. base in Iraq since Iran fired ballistic missiles at bases housing U.S. troops in early January.
