BAGHDAD, Nov 22 (KUNA) -- The Iraqi capital witnessed a strong attack on
Thursday with 20 missile shells landing in different parts of the heavyily
fortified Green Zone area.
KUNA's correspondent said he heard at least 20 missile shells land in the
area and smoke was seen there, along with the sound of sirens heard as a
result of the attack.
The correspondent also added he could not locate the exact location of the
firing attack, nor was he able to determine human casualties or material
damage.
US military choppers were seen flying over the area, which also coincided
with another attack by Al-Qaeda on tribesmen resulting in killing eight men
and three Iraqi soldiers, the correspondent added.
Last week, US military spokesman rear Admiral Gregory Smith warned of a
surge in attacks by Al-Qaeda on citizens in Baghdad, regardless of the
decrease of violence in recent weeks.(end)
