Coalition forces request access, enter Sudanese Embassy
Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO

BAGHDAD – Coalition Forces Soldiers entered the Sudanese embassy grounds in Baghdad Jan. 13.

The Soldiers entered the grounds after requesting entry to embassy guards.

Earlier reports from the Coalition that indicated no entry into the embassy grounds were made in error.

While in the compound, the Soldiers encountered two locked doors for which the guards did not have keys. Following consultation with the guards, the doors were forced open.

The compound was searched as part of an operation in the general vicinity that was aimed at denying insurgents safe haven to carry out attacks against Iraqi Security Forces and Iraqi citizens.

No other Sudanese embassy staff was present on the grounds.

No items were removed from the embassy.

The matter is under investigation.
