BAGHDAD, Jan 28 (Reuters) - At least three rockets landed in the Baghdad International Airport compound and near an adjacent U.S. airbase, damaging one disused civilian aeroplane, Iraqi police sources said.
The police sources did not report any other damage or any injuries. The damaged aircraft was an out of use Iraqi Airways plane, they said.
The U.S. airbase, known as Camp Victory, is located around the perimeter of Baghdad's civilian airport.
Rocket attacks which the U.S. and some Iraqi officials blame on Iran-aligned Shi'ite militia groups who oppose the U.S. military presence in the region have regularly hit the complex in recent years.
