BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: One mortar shell hit the fortified Green Zone, central Baghdad, with no report on casualties, said a police source.
“The mortar shell was launched from an unknown location,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
“We could know yet the damages caused by the shell, as it hit the edges of the GZ,” he added.
The Green Zone in central Baghdad is seat of the Iraqi government offices, parliament and the compound of the U.S., British and Arab embassies.
