Rocket or mortar? Most likely mortar because a rocket basically requires line of sight.

Isn't the embassy hardened against this sort of thing?

Seems like activity is centering around the green zone. I've read, and heard on the radio, several reports about attacks on the green zone, and Iraqi forces fighting insurgents around the green zone.

Business as usual over in that rathole, and nobody will know nothing about it. This shouldn't even be a Fox Alert anymore.
To: dawn53
The reporters/journalists won't go outside the Green Zone. We cannot expect to get any coverage elsewhere.
To: scoastie
The problem with this is that it seems so fortuitous. I bet that the insurgents now think that they are blessed by Allah, and that he granted them this 'victory' on the eve of the election. In a propaganda war, these things matter.

Could be a 107/122 mm rocket. Doesn't require LOS.

MSNBC is reporting that 2 people killed and that the embassy is on lock down. They also keep showing something that looks like a fire.
