Attack on Italian Embassy Kills Iraqis

ROME - Several mortar shells were fired Thursday at the Italian Embassy in Baghdad, causing some Iraqi deaths, the Foreign Ministry in Rome said.

No Italians were hurt in the attack, it said.

In Baghdad, an Iraqi police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The AP that one Iraqi was killed and three were wounded in the attack.

Ambulances rushed to the scene, and U.S. soldiers secured the embassy perimeter, positioning humvees and army trucks to seal the area.
