Camp Marlboro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Marlboro is a U.S. Military Camp in Sadr City, Baghdad. It was built to facilitate military and peacekeeping operations in the densely populated Shia ghetto.

Camp Marlboro was named as such because it was located on the premises of a cigarette factory, run by one of Saddam Hussein's cousins until the US forces occupied the compound. "Marlboros" are a brand of American cigarette.
