By Staff, Agencies

A rocket landed near Baghdad airport overnight but did not explode, according to an Iraqi security source, after two other rockets targeted American diplomatic and military installations over the weekend.

However, the Iraqi army said early Monday that no rocket had been fired.

American occupation forces are based at the Baghdad Airport.

Since October, American diplomats and occupation forces across Iraq have been targeted in around three dozen missiles blamed by Washington on Iraqi resistance groups.
