Government Blames Iran for Attack

Six rockets slammed into a residential quarter of Baghdad and wounded eight civilians, the official Iraqi News Agency reported. Iraq holds “the Iranian authorities responsible for this criminal operation and reserves the right to revenge at the appropriate time,” the agency said. Residents of the Baghdad neighborhood said they heard at least three explosions at 11:30 p.m. Monday, and one rocket gouged a big hole in an apartment. The attack occurred about the same time as a mortar attack on police headquarters in Tehran. The Iraqi-based rebel group Moujahedeen Khalq claimed responsibility for the Tehran attack, which wounded six people.
