Staff at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad say at least one member of the embassy's personnel was injured in a rocket attack in the compound the previous day. The staff members did not specify the injured person's nationality or the severity of their wounds.

Protesters wave the national flag as security forces fire tear gas during an ongoing protest in central Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, Jan. 20, 2020.

Violent clashes between Iraqi security forces and anti-government protesters also continued to seethe overnight, with one protester shot dead in a violent crackdown in the country’s south. The U.S. has accused Iran-backed militias of targeting U.S. interests by attacking military bases housing Americans and diplomatic missions.

JonLemire Did this even make the news over here?

An invading force kills 500,000 people without provocation, steals their only natural resource, destroys their society completely and leaves their towns in rubble, and we wonder why they want us out. We are the terrorists. Not them.

Will Republicans be outraged like they were with Benghazi? This is the second episode where Americans have been hurt and we are just leaving out Troops and State Department officials there to be bombed.

It was probably just a headache

JonLemire Just a headache

This is not good

Waiting for Trump to make a statement that it was just a “minor concussion” .

Liar in Chief says otherwise. All is perfect to him. I hope they lock his ass and the rest of crime family up for good and throw away the key.

No one was injured last time around, then they were and now just 1 person? Not sure how trustworthy their data really is, ask questions folks these folks like to omit things.

Apparently we’re ramping up again. Wonderful. peacenotwar

Why do we have any staff there?
