Blasts rock Baghdad
Six explosions rocked Baghdad and a US military vehicle was blown up in violence across Iraq. Aljazeera reported that a US Humvee vehicle was destroyed on Saturday and its crew members wounded when an explosive device went off in al-Jarayshi district northwest of the Iraqi city of Ramadi. Iraqi fighters ranged against the US-led forces fired six mortar rounds into central Baghdad and smoke was seen rising close to a hotel complex used by foreign contractors and media. There were, however, no immediate reports of casualties. Iraqi Interior Ministry sources said the blasts caused some damage to a mosque near the Palestine Hotel. A spokesman for the US 1st Cavalry Division said some civilian vehicles were also damaged.Posted by: Fred 2004-09-12 |
