BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A projectile slammed into a crowded residential area in Baghdad on Saturday, causing some casualties, witnesses said.



Iraqi police and U.S. soldiers surrounded a section of the Baladiyyat district in the east of the capital shortly after a blast rocked the area, and bursts of gunfire were then heard.


The U.S. military had no immediate comment on the incident. Soldiers and policemen at the scene gave conflicting accounts of the blast, attributing it alternately to mortar fire and rockets.

3. Whose fire and rockets??

From the article:

Soldiers and policemen at the scene gave conflicting accounts of the blast, attributing it alternately to mortar fire and rockets.


It's not stated whether the attack was the work of the "insurgents', or was another US attack to blast "suspected insurgents", or other US military detractors, out of their hidey-holes.

Meanwhile...more are dead :cry:
