More than a dozen Iraqi rebels have attacked the Polish Embassy in Baghdad, it was reported early on Monday. The insurgents targeted the edifice with machine guns, and exchanged fire with the embassy's guards for about half an hour. Media said that US troops rushed to the site after the attack began, but by the time they arrived the militants had fled. Poland commands an Iraq peacekeeping force of 6,000 troops, including Bulgaria's unit that was recently relocated from Karbala to Diwaniya.
