Arab Mujahideen Set Baghdad Ablaze

About a dozen rockets and mortar rounds have slammed into central Baghdad in fresh guerrilla attacks, as the U.S. military says an American soldier has been killed by a roadside bomb.
Two hotels used by Westerners and an apartment block were struck on Thursday, as well as the area where the headquarters of the U.S.-led administration is situated.
Guerrillas fired rockets that hit the outside wall of the Iranian embassy, the Turkish embassy and a residential building next to the German embassy.
The missiles blew a hole in the front wall of the Turkish mission and shattered windows but caused little damage in the other blasts, witnesses said.
A rocket missed the Interior Ministry and landed in a nearby street, witnesses said.
Only one woman was wounded in the attacks that took place around sunrise.
The U.S. military said on Thursday the American soldier was killed in Baghdad on Wednesday, bringing to 206 the number of U.S. military deaths from hostile fire since Washington announced the end of major combat in Iraq on May 1.
Washington blames attacks on Saddam Hussein supporters and foreign Islamic militants. Officials had warned insurgents would launch spectacular attacks during the Christmas holiday season.
The lift area between the eighth and ninth floors of the Ishtar Sheraton Hotel was struck. Debris and shattered glass littered the hotel's lobby.
A manager at the hotel said there were no casualties.
The hotel, where U.S. contractors and Western journalists stay, was hit in another attack late on Wednesday, but once again there were no casualties.
"Regular Day"
"This is a regular day for us," said U.S. First Lieutenant Kurt Muniz, as he led several soldiers on a foot patrol in the area. He said the attackers left behind leaflets urging staff at the Ishtar Sheraton to stop working at the hotel.
Another rocket hit the Bourj al-Hayat Hotel, also used by Americans. The hotel was used by U.N. weapons inspectors before the war. No one was hurt.
At the apartment block, Samar Zeid, 20, said: "We were sleeping when we heard a large explosion. My mother was taken to hospital." The attack damaged his parents' bedroom. A neighbour said he saw a car speeding away from a nearby street immediately after the attack.
A U.S. military spokesman said three or four rockets struck in the vicinity of the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority complex in the centre of Baghdad on the western bank of the Tigris River.
Warning sirens sounded several times at the complex, which was once one of Saddam's palaces. The all-clear was sounded some two hours after the attacks.
Three U.S. soldiers died in a bomb blast north of Baghdad on Wednesday and a suicide car bomber killed himself and four other people in northern Iraq. U.S. aircraft and artillery pounded suspected guerrilla hideouts in southern Baghdad for a second night.
Blasts and heavy machinegun fire echoed across the city as the U.S. military's Operation Iron Grip went on into early Thursday to flush out suspected guerrillas.
