Mortar attack hits Baghdad prison killing inmates
Mortar shells slammed into an Interior Ministry prison on Monday, killing at least five inmates and wounding 25, per U.S. military and Iraqi officials. Police and hospital officers cited seven dead and 23 wounded. Troops sealed the area near the main Interior Ministry compound on the east bank of the Tigris after shells landed about 200 yards from the ministry. A refinery fire elsewhere was deemed an industrial accident by the U.S., not an attack.
