BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. commander in the Middle East, General John Abizaid, has escaped unharmed from a rocket-propelled grenade attack in Iraq, the U.S. army says.
"At 1330 in Fallujah, General Abizaid and General (Charles) Swannack were visiting a local Iraqi civil defence corps compound when three rocket-propelled grenades were fired at their convoy from rooftops nearby," Brigadier-General Mark Kimmitt told a news conference on Thursday.
"No coalition soldiers or civilians were injured."
