BAGHDAD, Iraq -
Two Iraqi civilians were killed and four Iraqi civilians, two U.S. civilian contractors and one Soldier were wounded during a 122-milimeter-rocket attack on a Coalition base camp here at approximately 10 a.m. April 16. The Iraqi civilian casualties occurred when some of the rockets fell shy of the camp. A 1st Cavalry Division spokesman condemned the attack.
"This attack on innocent Iraqis and Coalition forces is yet another sign of the lawless tactics of the enemies of freedom," said Division Public Affairs Officer, Lt. Col. James Hutton. The incident is under investigation.
