Mortars hit close to Maliki’s office in Green Zone.

Militants fired mortar rounds at the U.S.-guarded Green Zone this morning, “with five of them striking near the office of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and one crashing adjacent to the American post exchange store.” No casualties were reported. In a report released on June 5, the U.N. said that “insurgents had bombarded the Green Zone with rockets and mortar fire more than 80 times since March, reportedly killing at least 26 people.”
