U.S.-led coalition forces in Baghdad said Tuesday that attacks on coalition personnel and facilities in Iraq “will not be tolerated,” adding that coalition forces retain the right to self-defense. No coalition or U.S.-occupied facility was struck in Monday night’s attack in which two Katyusha rockets were fired into the heavily fortified Green Zone, according to a statement issued by the coalition and Iraqi security forces. The rockets landed few hundred meters (yards) away from the U.S. Embassy compound’s perimeters, triggering alert sirens that sounded across the capital’s Tigris River.
