Baghdad Rocket Attack Is Second This Week Toward US Troops
Military

A crude rocket attack landed in the vicinity of Baghdad International Airport and a former US military base Friday, Jan. 28. Nobody was hurt, and the only casualty was an abandoned airliner that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But it marked the second time in under a week that a base with US military personnel on it had been subject to rocket fire. Militias in Yemen on Monday launched long-range missiles at Abu Dhabi, and US forces at Al Dhafra Air Base engaged the projectiles with Patriot missiles. Some reporting indicated that the Yemen-fired missiles may have been targeted at the small US force in Abu Dhabi.
