Rockets strike US Embassy in Baghdad, US official says


(CNN) Three rockets struck the US Embassy in Baghdad on Sunday, a US official told CNN. The official said one person was injured in the attack, but that the injury was minor and the individual had since returned to duty. A State Department spokesperson said Sunday evening that they "are aware of reports of rockets landing in the International Zone," but did not address the US embassy itself. The State Department did not respond to a query as to whether any embassy employees were injured. "We call on the Government of Iraq to fulfill its obligations to protect our diplomatic facilities," the spokesperson said.
