One Killed, 9 Injured in Missile Attack on U.S. Military Base in Northern Iraq
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In northern Iraq, a civilian contractor was killed and nine people were
injured Monday in a rocket attack on a U.S. military base in the city of
Erbil, the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region. A
little-known Shia organization calling itself Guardians of Blood claimed
responsibility, promising it would carry out more attacks targeting the
U.S. occupation.
