Four explosions rock Baghdad''s Green Zone

BAGHDAD, July 6 (KUNA) -- Four explosions rocked the Green Zone in central Baghdad on Friday, after missiles fell over a number of buildings in the fortified area.
Four consecutive explosions were heard by KUNA's correspondent here, likely to have been caused by mortar shells, and were followed by the wailing of sirens.
Columns of thick black smoke were seen, apparently from a fire that had erupted at one of the locations.
The area houses Iraqi government buildings, as well as the US and British embassies.
It is not yet clear whether there are casualties. (end) mhg.ema KUNA 061326 Jul 07NNNN
