BAGHDAD, MARCH 21. Insurgents fired a rocket at U.S. troops in western Iraq, killing two soldiers, while in Baghdad rockets fired toward the U.S.-led coalition headquarters on Sunday killed two Iraqi civilians and injured an American soldier, U.S. officials said. The attack in Baghdad came a day after the first anniversary of the start of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. A soldier was also killed on Sunday in an apparent accident during a weapons firing exercise in Samarra, about 100 km north of Baghdad, an Army spokeswoman said. The incident was under investigation. One of three rockets fired in Baghdad landed inside the coalition headquarters, but did not cause significant damage, a U.S. official said on condition of anonymity. The wounded soldier was hit by flying glass. Staff and journalists in the compound were instructed to take cover inside a bunker. Two rockets landed outside the compound in the upscale neighbourhood of Mansour, killing two Iraqi civilians and wounding five, the official said.
