Update to 9/11 Rocket at Camp Victory

Sep 13 at 7:07am by David Tate

US officials now say that the rocket that slammed into Camp Victory Tuesday was an Iranian-made 240mm rocket provided to Shia militia members by Iran.  Although I was told it was an RPG round earleir in the week, forensic tests now prove otherwise.  1 person was killed and eleven wounded in the 9/11 attack.  To understand the difference, an RPG round is an 81mm projectile.  This rocket is three times larger.  It is the second time in two months this weapon has been used in Iraq and may be the definitive proof that Iran is supplying weapons used in attacks against the coalition. 

I do have video of the attack scene which has not been released.  See my account of the attack in the post titled, “Six Years Ago Today”, which is below.
