BAGHDAD, Feb 24: Gunmen fired two rockets at a tomb south of Baghdad causing damage but no casualties, an official said. The tomb of Salman Pak, also known as Salman al-Farisi, was attacked after sunset with two rockets, said Jamal al-Saghir, an aide to Shia political leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim.
The tomb is located in the village of Salman Pak, 30km southeast of Baghdad. The attack comes two days after a Shia holy shrine in the central city of Samarra was heavily damaged by an explosion. Dozens of Sunni mosques were attacked after that throughout Iraq.—AP
