[DM] Attacks were launched on US embassies in Norway, and Iraq on Saturday night as the crisis in the Middle East threatens to spiral out of control. Rocket fire aimed at the US Embassy in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad was blamed on 'rogue groups' by local officials. Footage appeared to show a US Army C-RAM interceptor system shooting down the rocket fire, sending a stunning red laser across the skies as it took down the munitions. A security source told AFP that four rockets were launched toward the embassy. Three were intercepted but one fell in an open area in the embassy's airbase.
Meanwhile in Norway, a large explosion was also reported outside the US Embassy in Oslo at 1am local time. The explosion caused 'minor injuries' and damage to the consular entrance of the embassy, Oslo Police Chief Michael Dellemyr told NKR. The source of the explosion in Oslo or who was responsible is unclear, police said.
