Rocket fired into Iraqi capital’s ‘Green Zone’, no casualties 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBAGHDAD (Reuters) – A rocket was fired into the Iraqi capital Baghdad’s heavily-fortified Green Zone, which houses government buildings and foreign embassies, on Sunday but caused no casualties, the Iraqi military said. The Green Zone was regularly targeted by mortars during the U.S. occupation of Iraq that ended in 2011. Rockets have occasionally been fired into the Green Zone since then. The latest such incident was in September, when three mortar shells landed inside the Green Zone, causing no casualties.
