U.S. congressmen attacked in Iraq
« on: August 31, 2007, 11:38:20 PM »
A U.S. military plane carrying a U.S. congressional delegation came under fire this week while taking off from Baghdad airport, forcing the crew to take evasive action, the military said on Friday.

No one on board the C-130 aircraft was hurt during the "surface-to-air" attack on Thursday, it said.

"The aircrew dispensed flares as a defensive countermeasure and conducted standard evasive maneuvers," the military said in a statement, adding the plane completed its flight.

The statement did not say who was among the congressional delegation nor specify the type of surface-to-air fire.

Numerous U.S. lawmakers have been visiting Baghdad ahead of a series of pivotal reports to be delivered to Congress in the coming weeks on the security and political situation in Iraq.
