U.S. Troops Find Iranian Rockets Aimed at Their Iraq Base

[AFP/Yahoo] Salam Faraj - "After several rockets hit FOB (Forward Operating Base) Hammer on July 11, the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team maneuvered to find the source of the attack," a U.S. military statement said Saturday. The next morning an "unmanned aerial vehicle located 46 rocket launchers in the northern section of Besmaya Range Complex aimed at FOB Hammer. Thirty-four of the launchers were armed with Iranian 107mm rockets." U.S. commanders frequently accuse Iran of providing weapons, training and support to armed groups in Iraq, including many of the rockets launched at Baghdad's Green Zone. They have also accused Iranian special forces of using Shiite Lebanese Hizbullah fighters to train Iraqi extremists to attack U.S. troops in Iraq.
