BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: An intelligence agency spokesperson on Monday said that the suicide bombing that rocked Baghdad’s heavily-fortified green zone earlier today targeted the agency’s building.

“Two women working for the intelligence agency were among the dead,” the spokesperson told Aswat al-Iraq.
Earlier in the day, Maj. Gen. Qassem Atta, the official spokesperson for the Baghdad Operations Command (BOC), told Aswat al-Iraq that a mentally-retarded female suicide bomber was detonated by means of remote control near a checkpoint at the entrance of the green zone in central Baghdad’s al-Karada district, leaving three persons killed and 12 others injured.
