building the new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad


The compound will comprise 21 buildings on 104 acres (42 ha), making it the largest and most expensive U.S. embassy in the world.

The complex is said to be heavily fortified, even by the standards of the Green Zone. The details are largely secret, but it is likely to include a significant U.S. Marine Security Guard detachment. Fortifications are to include deep security perimeters, buildings reinforced beyond the standard, and five highly guarded entrances.
