Three rockets are fired at US embassy in Baghdad and 'hit an apartment complex killing civilians' on second night of attacks in Green Zone following killing of Qassem Soleimani

Multiple rockets have been launched at the US embassy in Baghdad.
They are believed to have missed the embassy, with local reports suggesting they hit an apartment complex instead, killing civilians.
It is the second night in a row that the embassy has been attacked and comes after the US killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Residents of the Iraq's capital of Baghdad say three explosions rang out heard inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone, home to the US Embassy and the seat of Iraq's government.
Alert sirens were sounded Sunday in the area on the west bank of the Tigris river.

Why would any one want to attack apartment buildings where woman and children would be living?

(1,713 posts)3. Here is the problem
with an Iranian response. The resdponses will probably be rag tag rocket launches or attacks under proxy elements like we saw in Kenya. If Iran attacks an American interest or kills a large group of Americans .... They know, wrong or right, thier asses are grass. Even crazy people don't want to die.
