BAGHDAD, Iraq -- An improvised bomb was found in a restaurant in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, home of the U.S. Embassy and key government offices, American officials said Thursday.

The device was found around midday Tuesday at the Green Zone Cafe, a popular hangout for Westerners living and working in the compound. A U.S. military ordnance detachment safely disarmed it, U.S. officials said.

2. Better yet, avoid the Green Zone alltogether.

Come home to the USA where you belong.
