US Embassy dining hall in Baghdad hit by rocket, senior US official says


The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was struck by at least one rocket Sunday evening in the latest attack on American targets in Iraq, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News. Former Deputy Prime Minister Hoshyar Zebari blamed the rocket attack on an “unruly militia.”“The Embassy restaurant or canteen was damaged and burned. Security forces fired tear gas and live rounds to disperse the crowds from Baghdad's Khilani Square, medical and security officials said. One protester was killed and six wounded after security forces fired live rounds in nearby Wathba Square later in the evening. Iraqi security forces reportedly wounded at least 28 demonstrators in the first hours of Sunday's street rallies.
