Two Explosions Reported in Central Baghdad

Sun October 26, 2003 01:47 PM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At least two explosions detonated Sunday evening in an area of Baghdad that includes the headquarters of Iraq's U.S.-led administration, the U.S. military said.

A military spokesman said the explosions had gone off in the capital's Green Zone, which also includes a top-security hotel that came under rocket attack earlier in the day. Reporters in central Baghdad also heard several explosions.

Earlier Sunday, guerrillas fired rockets into the Rashid Hotel where U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was staying, killing a U.S. soldier and wounding 17 people.

Wolfowitz was believed to have left the hotel before the latest explosions Sunday evening.
