Several Americans were injured when rockets hit Iraqi base for second time in a week


(CNN) The three coalition members wounded when rockets struck a military base in Iraq on Saturday were US personnel, a US military official told CNN. The al-Taji base was hit by its second rocket attack in a week early on Saturday local time, Col. Myles B. Caggins III, a spokesman for the international Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), confirmed on Twitter. The US said Thursday it had assessed that an Iranian-backed group was responsible for the rocket attack. At least six people were killed -- five of them military personnel -- and 11 others were injured by the US-led coalition air strikes, Iraqi military said in statement. The Iraqi military said the US-led coalition attack violated the partnership agreement.
