Polish embassy in Baghdad comes under missile attack

The rocket hit the roof of a building that houses the embassy's security staff. It is next to the embassy's main building inside Baghdad's Green Zone, where it was moved late last year to heighten security. Sikorski said the incident will not affect Poland's mission in Iraq.  He declared, "The terrorists who committed this sort of attack will not achieve their goals. Our schedule for ending our mission in Iraq will not change". Poland plans to withdraw its 900 troops from Iraq by the end of October. (Dziennik, p. 9; Rzeczpospolita, p. A13) R.M.
