What happened in the Green Zone this morning?
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9D02C1B6-7A8D-4620-B9B4-2096EC0597C4.htm

A large explosion was head in Baghdad within minutes of the polls opening and sirens could be heard inside the heavily fortified Green Zone where the Iraqi government and the US and British embassies are located.

Police said the explosion was reportedly caused by a mortar landing near the Green Zone. There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage.

1. Sounds like the same thing that happened yesterday morning. . .
We really need a forum for "large explosions heard in Iraq. . ."

3. In White House Language:
"There was a large sign of progress in the Green Zone this morning as some Iraqis practiced their newfound freedoms."
