Subject: Camp Victory hit by Iran supplied 240mm rocket - where was C-RAM?
reefdiver 9/13/2007 10:50:03 AM

I had read that C-RAM was deployed to Camp Victory late last year or early this year. So I'm wondering what might have happened here?

U.S. General: Iranian Missile Used in Attack on U.S. Base in Iraq
Thursday, September 13, 2007

"BAGHDAD ? A fatal attack launched two days ago against the sprawling headquarters base of the American military in Iraq was carried out with a 240 mm rocket ? a type of weapon provided to Shiite extremists by Iran, a U.S. general said Thursday.

One person was killed and 11 were wounded during the "indirect fire" attack Tuesday against Camp Victory, which includes the headquarters of Multinational Forces-Iraq.

The attack was overshadowed by congressional appearances by Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker in Washington.

But such an attack with a sophisticated weapon against a nearly impregnable compound ? far less vulnerable than the Green Zone in the heart of the capital ? sends a strong message to the Americans that nowhere in Iraq are they safe, even in the nerve center of the U.S. mission."
