Baghdad blast kills at least 10
'Other than that, things are goin' great!'
Sun 12 October, 2003: A powerful car bomb has killed at least 10 people outside a central Baghdad hotel used by U.S. officials, injuring many and filling the air with thick black smoke, police say.
Eyewitnesses said they saw a car crash through the security barrier at the Baghdad Hotel and explode. The hotel is widely thought to be used by members of the CIA, officials of the U.S. -led coalition, their Iraqi partners in the Governing Council as well as U.S. contractors.
A policeman at the scene said at least ten people had been killed. Hotel employees said five or six bodies lay in the hotel courtyard.
