The Iranian and British consulates in the southern Iraqi city of Basra came under rocket attack during the night. The missiles caused no injuries, police said today.

Five rockets hit the area of the Iranian consulate. One hit a room in the building. Another struck a car parked outside. A third hit the compound wall while the fourth fell in the garden, Basra police said.

The fifth missed the compound and fell outside the walls.

Another two rockets were fired at the compound housing the British consulate. Both missed the building, police said.

1. Oh-oh
The natives are getting restless. I wonder how much longer before they launch a major assault on the green zone? Of course, Rummie & Condi will claim that no one could have ever imagined such a thing

2. Rockets will present a serious new challenge to security.
It was only a matter of time before RPGs were replaced with katyusha class rockets. Security is going to become even more problematic.
