Middle East Eye: Rocket attacks target US personnel in Iraq for third time in three days 

US officials have been discussing a troop withdrawal with Iraq's leaders 

Two rockets were launched at an Iraqi air base hosting Americans on Tuesday - the third such attack to take place in as many days. The attack came as a US government delegation visited Baghdad. 

The Iraqi army said the two rockets shot at Ain-al-Assad air base on Tuesday fell on an unoccupied segment of the military base and did not cause any casualties or much damage, AFP reported. 

The other two recent attacks targeted Balad air base, which hosts US contractors, on Monday, and Baghdad airport, where US troops are stationed, on Sunday. 

There were also no casualties reported in those incidents.
