Joe Biden is on a visit to Baghdad, but several rockets or mortars were fired in to the Green Zone when he was visiting the city.
They landed near the U.S Embassy; two civilains were killed and five others were wounded, but it is also not known exactly where Mr. Biden is at this time.
He had arrived earlier on a visit aimed at reducing tensions between Kurdish, Shia and Sunni Arab communities.
The US currently has about 130,000 troops in Iraq, but is expected to drop to about 50,000 by this time next year.
