Two GIs killed, 26 injured in rocket attack

A ROCKET slammed into an American logistics base yesterday near the city of Balad, killing two US soldiers and wounding 26 people, and saboteurs again blew up a key oil pipeline.

Air and ground units responded to the attack, the military said. Balad is 50 miles north of Baghdad.

On June 6, a US soldier on the same base was killed and another wounded in a mortar attack. Camp Anaconda also suffered a mortar attack last July 4 that wounded 18 US soldiers.
