Rockets fired at Coalition HQ in Baghdad

At least 10 rockets detonated in central Baghdad tonight, near an area that houses the headquarters of the US-led coalition.

Sirens blared for several minutes, and smoke and flames were briefly visible.

The former Ministry of Foreign Affairs was on fire, a witness said.

The building was severely damaged by US bombing during the war last year.

A US military mess hall sits behind the building.

There was no immediate word on casualties.

The rockets struck on the northern edge of the Green Zone, which houses the coalition headquarters.
