Dutch Embassy in Baghdad Hit by Rockets

[BeatleBoot]

<snip>

"Hours after the embassy attack, the sound of strong explosions reverberated through the Iraqi capital. A U.S. military spokesman said he had no information on the cause of the blasts, which could be heard in the center of the city.

The Netherlands maintains about 1,100 troops in southern Iraq as part of the U.S.-led coalition. The Dutch withdrew most of their diplomats in October because of deteriorating security and maintain a staff of five Dutch nationals in Baghdad, none of whom was in the building when it was attacked, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said."
