Rockets Kill 5 Near Baghdad Airport

Rockets slammed into an Iraqi housing complex near the Baghdad international airport and a nearby U.S. military base on Monday, killing at least five people and wounding 16, including two U.S. soldiers, officials said. American troops acting on strong evidence arrested six Iraqi suspects in the vicinity of the apparent launching sites. The brazen attack followed a weekend in which U.S and Iraqi officials touted the security gains of a year old operation in Baghdad that included an influx of some 30,000 extra American troops.
