BAGHDAD --Four days after terrorist mortar rounds landed in a west Baghdad neighborhood, Soldiers from the Iraqi Army and Task Force Baghdad were there to provide follow-up assistance to victims of the attack.

Five mortar rounds that appeared to be directed at Camp Hawk fell short of the camp's gates Oct. 16. Two mortar rounds struck a house, killing a young girl and injuring others while the other two landed in the street, injuring a young boy. Another round caused damage to the Ibda"a Elementary School.

Iraqi Army Soldiers responded immediately, cordoning off the area and giving medical treatment to the wounded.

The Oct. 20 visit to victims" families by Iraqi Soldiers and U.S. troops from 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry was a follow-up with medical assistance and included delivery of school supplies and toys.
