Blasts heard in central Baghdad, cause unclear

10 Nov 2004 04:18:38 GMT

BAGHDAD, Nov 10 (Reuters) - A series of explosions echoed over central Baghdad on Wednesday, witnesses said.

A U.S. military spokeswoman said she had heard the blasts at about 7 a.m. (0400 GMT), but had no immediate information on what had caused them, or on any casualties.

A single explosion, which sounded like a mortar bomb, rang out in the Iraqi capital about 20 minutes earlier.

3. Satan belched
He just ate a good meal in Falluja. The prince of darkness is very satisfied.

4. Just the "Baghdad Alarm Clock"
Time to get up folks. Except the ones killed in the blast, of course.
