Baghdad: A volley of rockets landed near the US embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Sunday, security sources said, in the latest unclaimed attack on American installations in the country.
AFP reporters heard loud thuds emanating from the western bank of the Tigris, where most foreign embassies are located.
One security source said that three Katyusha rockets hit near the high-security compound while another said as many as five struck the area.
Later Iraq's security forces said in a statement that five rockets hit the high-security Green Zone with no casualties. It did not mention the US embassy.
The rocket fire comes two days after thousands massed in Baghdad in response to a call by populist cleric Moqtada Sadr for a rally to demand the ouster of US troops from Iraq.
