F_Residents carry a woman wounded during a mortar attack 21 July 2003 outside the US embassy in Monrovia. At least three people were injured, one of them a US national, in a mortar attack on the US embassy in the Liberian capital Monrovia, the US army command in Europe (EUCOM) said 21 July. "Two mortar rounds fell in and around the embassy," a spokesman, Major Bill Bigelow, told AFP from EUCOM headquarters in Stuttgart. "Reports indicate that there were three injured, one American, I believe a journalist off the compound, and two local contract guards in an annex," Bigelow said. He said that a 41-person US team is providing added security at the embassy. An AFP photographer in Monrovia said the mortar attack, which has not been claimed by either side, seemed to come from the rebel-controlled port area. AFP PHOTO GEORGES GOBET.
