(回答先: バグダッドのホテルで爆発、少なくとも27人死亡(読売新聞) ?約450キロのプラスチック爆弾に砲弾を組み合わせ 投稿者 シジミ 日時 2004 年 3 月 18 日 06:47:28)
The governing council's deputy interior minister, Ahmed Kadhim, as well as several residents near the hotel, believed initially that the blast was the result of a rocket attack.
"We saw the tail of a rocket, then we saw a big flash and heard a big boom," said a bystander, Hashim al-Musawi.
A US soldier at the scene insisted it was not a rocket. "It has to be a car bomb. No rocket could cause that amount of damage," said Private Heath Balick, of the 1st Armoured Division, which is responsible for security in Baghdad.

読売記事ではソフトターゲット云々のくだらない解釈はあるようだが、上のロケット攻撃証言同様、ホテルがアルジャジーラ支局のすぐそばだという実にニュース・ワーシーな情報には触れていない。触れない理由が何かあるのだろうか。
Buildings nearby were severely damaged, including the offices of al-Jazeera, the Arab satellite TV channel, and several cars caught fire.

Several bodies were being pulled out of the rubble of the Mount Lebanon Hotel, a small hotel used mainly by Iraqis and Arabs, in the Karrada district. Up to 41 people have been injured in the explosion.
Aljazeera's bureau, located behind the hotel, was also badly damaged in the explosion on Wednesday evening.
"It has to be a car bomb. No rocket could cause that amount of damage," said Pfc. Heath Balick of the US Army's 1st Armored Division, which is responsible for security in Baghdad.
Another military spokesperson, US Colonel Ralph Baker is reported as saying "it looks like the bomb was 1000 pounds of plastic explosives and artillery shells mixed in with explosives to create more injuries."
Earlier, Iraq's deputy interior minister said at the scene a rocket attack was suspected.
