| (KUNA) -- One hour after the U.S. embassy in Baghdad's heavily fortified international Green Zone in central Baghdad was shaken by loud explosions of mortar shells, a suicide attacker detonated his car near Maarouf Al-Resafi square here. The bombing killed two Iraqi civilians and wounded seven others Monday afternoon. It also caused heavy material damage to nearby shops and cars, said Iraqi police sources. Soon after the attack on U.S. embassy, black smoke was seen rising from the location of the embassy on the western bank of Tigris River, according to KUNA reporter. The attack led to no casualties, spokesman of the embassy Lu Vantou said. However, he declined to elaborate on the attack citing "security considerations." Press reports said the attack left some dozen casualties. Rebutting the reports, information coordinator of the Multi-National Forces Janah Hammod told KUNA the attack injured only one U.S. national and two embassy workers of other nationalities. |
