Rocket lands in Green Zone in Iraq's capital

BAGHDAD, Aug 30 (Xinhua) A Katyusha rocket on Saturday evening landed inside the heavily fortified Green Zone in Iraq's capital Baghdad, causing no human casualties, the Iraqi military said.
The rocket was fired from an area near the Qanat al-Jaish waterway, or Army Canal, in eastern Baghdad, and landed on an empty house in the Green Zone where the U.S. embassy and some of the main Iraqi government offices are located, the media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command said in a brief statement.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, but the military bases housing U.S. troops across Iraq and the Green Zone in Baghdad have been frequently targeted by mortar and rocket attacks.
