Three dead in Baghdad mortar attack
- 11 years ago
A mortar attack on an Iranian dissident camp killed three people in Baghdad on Saturday. The Mujahidin-e-Khalq (MEK) group said Iran was probably to blame, with Iraqi complicity.
MEK said two of the camp's residents were killed and 40 wounded in the attack. An Iraqi died when a stray mortar round hit a residential complex for Baghdad airport employees nearby.
Video posted on a social media website, which Reuters cannot independently verify, purports to show the camp under attack, with smoke rising from buildings.
A similar attack on the camp in February killed at least five members of the MEK, which was removed from the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organisations last year.
