N.O.R.F Posted September 25, 2003 Baghdad blast At least one person, a Somali security guard, was killed and two others wounded in the bomb blast at Baghdad's Aike Hotel earlier on Thursday. Iraqi police said the bomb, which is reported to have gone off at about 0700 local time (0300 GMT), had been placed in a hut that housed the hotel generator. It is the first time Western media in Iraq has been specifically targeted since the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein. The blast follows an explosion on Wednesday at a cinema in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which killed two people and injured up to 20 others. Canadian soundman David Moodie, who was one of about a dozen NBC staff inside the building at the time, was hurt by flying glass. ""I was awake," he said. "A chest of drawers in the room fell on me. I sleep in the room immediately above the generator, so I guess I was lucky." Allah ha-u naxaristo! Ameen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
