A rocket hit a busy Baghdad neighborhood on Sunday, killing at least one person and wounding eight, hospital officials and witnesses said. The rocket hit a side street in Baghdad's Karrada neighborhood, witnesses said. Ambulances raced to the scene and U.S. troops cordoned off the area. The body of one victim lay in the street, covered by a sheet, an Associated Press reporter said. The rocket also destroyed a car and shattered the windows of 10 shops. The explosion was one of a series of blasts that rocked the capital. Small puffs of white smoke could be seen rising above the former presidential palace in the Green Zone, the headquarters of the U.S. Embassy and the interim Iraqi government. The U.S. military had no immediate information on the attack.
