At Least 118 Killed in Iraq as Rockets Terrorize Troops and Iranian Dissidents

At least 16 rockets, but possibly many more, struck Camp
Liberty/Hurriya, which is home to over 2,000 Mujahideen-e Khalq (M.E.K.)
members. At least 23
M.E.K. were killed and many more were wounded. The attack left three
Iraqi soldiers dead. Sixteen
Iraqi soldiers were also wounded; they were serving as guards. These
figures could rise significantly tomorrow.

The M.E.K. is an Iranian dissident group welcomed into Iraq
by Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War. After the fall of his regime, the
members became personae non gratae but were protected by U.S. forces. They were
forcibly moved into this camp in 2012 instead of being expelled.

Heavy rainfall
and flooding detonated
several dozen bombs in the Falluja area, but no casualties were
reported.
