Return to Iraq AP - 22 minutes ago · Palestine, Sheraton Hotels Hit by Rebels AP - 27 minutes ago Special Coverage Two other rocket launchers mounted on donkey carts were found within hours — one 30 yards from the Italian Embassy and another near the Academy of Fine Arts, both in the Waziriya neighborhood north of downtown. Iraqi police and U.S. troops were securing those weapons, which apparently had not been fired, and U.S. soldiers searched donkey carts on nearby streets. One man was carried away bleeding from the Palestine Hotel, where many foreign journalists and U.S. workers are staying. No other casualties were reported at the Palestine or the Sheraton Hotel across the street. "This is the work of terrorists," said Loay Yunis Khalil, manager of the Palestine Hotel. Elsewhere, a U.S. soldier from the 82nd Airborne Division was killed and two were injured near the city of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, on Thursday when a roadside bomb exploded next to their convoy, the military said Friday.
