Baghdad, Nov 21: Rockets slammed into the
Palestine hotel in downtown Baghdad this morning, causing
limited damage on the upper floors of hotel where many us
workers and foreign journalists are staying. There were no
immediate reports of casualties.
US soldiers and Iraqi police discovered a
rocket-launcher attached to a donkey cart with a capacity to
fire 30 rockets on nearby Saadoun street, but didn't allow
journalists to approach.
They said it appeared three or four rockets had been
fired.
One of the rockets left a hole in the wall of the
16th floor of the hotel, and a 15th-floor room appeared to
have been hit as well, although soldiers searching the room
didn't allow journalists inside.
Several windows were shattered in the 18th-floor
building.
There were no immediate reports of arrests.
