March 14 - Taji, north of Baghdad, #Iraq
Another video of today's rocket attack targeting a military base housing U.S. & coalition forces.
Two Iraqi soldiers have been wounded.
#UPDATE
More images from the launch site.

My take:
The sophistication of these launchers can not be the work of Iraqi militia groups alone. #Iran's regime most definitely played a role.
