A Boom In Baghdad
From the VP latest pool report:
Around 5:20 p.m. (local) there was a distant explosion that rattled windows at the building where the VP and the press corps are working today. Seasoned Baghdad hands, security contractors, troops and diplomats, said this happens regularly and didn’t seem especially alarmed, though the press corps was hustled two floors down to a basement “attack shelter.” The blast sounded like a mortar rocket. Five minutes later the all-clear was sounded. Awaiting word on whether the VP was moved or was even aware of the incident.
“His business was not disrupted. He was not moved,’’ said Lea Anne McBride, Cheney spokeswoman.
