![]() Also on Monday, two rockets landed in the Oil Ministry complex in Baghdad, wounding an employee and damaging several vehicles. Police said the missiles hit the main parking lot next to the ministry building. Police Captain Nabil Abd al-Karim said only one exploded while the other failed to detonate. The massive Oil Ministry was one of the few government buildings left undamaged in the air strikes and looting that accompanied the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. In the past two years, however, the heavily fortified complex has been repeatedly targeted. |
