Rockets Fired at U.S. Baghdad Compound
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Three rockets were fired early Saturday in the direction of the U.S.-controlled al-Rashid Hotel and Convention Center complex in central Baghdad, nearby residents said.
A U.S. soldier in the convention center, where the U.S. military maintains its press office and other facilities, said three rocket-propelled grenades were fired at the al-Rashid, but he didn't think there were any casualties.
The soldier, speaking on condition of anonymity, would not say if the attackers hit the hotel.
Many U.S. military officials and American civilian support staff stay in the hotel.
The neighborhood was sealed off. Residents of a neighborhood just west of the complex said the rocket launcher was fired from the middle of a street in the Salhiya district and left behind as the attackers fled.
U.S. forces and security men in civilian clothing sealed off the neighborhood.
One resident who saw the launcher near his home said he heard the sound of three launches at about 6:30 a.m.
