Blast Reported in Fallujah Mayor’s Office
2003-11-01
A strong explosion Friday shook the center of this tense Sunni Muslim city west of Baghdad, and thick black smoke billowed from the mayor’s office, witnesses said. The blast was heard about 1:35 p.m., and Iraqi police blocked off the roads leading there. More details were not immediately available.
Damn.

#1  Update from ABC news:

"Firemen extinguished the flames, and no casualties were reported, but authorities said one Iraqi was killed and one wounded when residents converged on the scene outraged that their district was again the target of an attack because it was associated with the U.S. occupation. Police shot and killed the man during the argument, said civil defense officer Ahmed Khalil."
