The U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, said the rockets fired into the Green Zone, also known as the International Zone, were Iranian-made and supplied by the Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Associated Press reported from Baghdad on March 24, 2008.

The U.S. military has blamed Iran for arming and funding Shiite extremists to fight American forces in Iraq.

U.S. Embassy spokesman said two government employees _ an American and a Jordanian _ were seriously injured and six other people required medical attention after Sunday’s volley of rocket attacks.
