In Iraq, the U.S. headquarters in Baghdad came under a heavy mortar attack yesterday. Three large explosions were heard outside the compound. Four people were reportedly injured. The U.S. military headquarters in Mosul also came under attack. And in Basra an Iraqi judge was assassinated. This came a day after another judge was kidnapped and killed in Najaf.

And a new Washington Post-ABC News poll has found that only one in seven Americans agree with the White House that Iraq poses the “most important” front in the country’s fight in the war on terror.
