U.S. bolstering security in Middle East

The Pentagon is rushing hundreds of troops to the Middle East, after pro-Iranian protesters tried to storm the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad. Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division boarded transport planes at Fort Bragg in North Carolina Wednesday and are headed to Kuwait.
