At Least Two US Soldiers Killed in Prison Attack

Two mortar rounds struck the prison compound at 9:54 p.m. on Saturday evening, the spokeswoman said.

"There were two soldiers killed and 13 wounded," she said. "No detainees were injured."

Attackers also fired mortar rounds at the prison on August 17, killing six Iraqis and wounding 59.

Abu Ghraib was one of the largest and most notorious prisons in Iraq during Saddam’s rule. U.S. forces now hold both common criminals and Iraqis suspected of guerrilla attacks against them at the jail.
