Sat Nov 29, 2008 3:58pm IST

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Rocket or mortar attacks
on the heavily fortified Baghdad government and
military Green Zone compound killed at least two
foreign workers on Saturday near the United
Nations offices, a U.N. official and police said.

The U.N. official said two catering workers, of
unknown nationality and not affiliated with the
world body, had been killed. A Green Zone security
source put the toll at three foreign workers
killed and 15 wounded.

The Green Zone compound houses many Iraqi
government ministries and U.S. military and
diplomatic offices, and comes under frequent
bomb attacks, though rockets and mortars have
been rare in recent months.
