Baghdad, Mar 26: Fourteen Iraqis were killed and at least 30 wounded today when at least two US-British missiles struck a Baghdad residential area, civil defense forces said.
The missiles hit "the city of the people" in northern Baghdad at about 11:30 am (1400 GMT), the Director of Civil Defense in the district, Hamad Abdallah al-Dulaimi said.
The missiles crashed into buildings occupied by car mechanics' garages on the ground floor and private apartments above.
Dulaimi said at least 17 vehicles were incinerated in the raid.

The attack came amid a number of coalition attacks on the Iraqi capital.

Debris was scattered along the pavement of the neighbourhood which is home to a number of official buildings.
The Rashid hotel, which towers over the district, has long been the residence of foreign journalists in Baghdad.

Most journalists have left the Rashid Hotel for security reasons amid the week-old US and British offensive to topple Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. Bureau Report
