Heavy shelling rocks Baghdad''s fortified Green Zone
Military and Security 7/10/2007 4:12:00 PM

BAGHDAD, July 10 (KUNA) -- Some 40 explosions rocked the Iraqi capital's fortified Green Zone, home to the US and British embassies, in the gravest attack on the area since April, 2003.
KUNA's correspondent heard some 40 mortar shell explosions and saw columns of thick smoke and dust rise from areas close to the US Embassy and Iraqi government offices, while US helicopters hovered above and sirens wailed.
This is the largest attack in four years, where shells fell along the zone's western side adjacent to the Euphrates River, but even more shells seem to have fallen within proximity of the US Embassy and government buildings.
Causalities and damages are not yet known, but an eyewitness, requesting anonymity, said four shells fell near the US Embassy and another five near the planning authority. (end) mhg.ema KUNA 101612 Jul 07NNNN
