BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A series of at least seven blasts rocked central Baghdad
on Tuesday, witnesses said.

The blasts were believed to be within Baghdad's "Green Zone", the heavily
fortified compound around government buildings and the U.S. embassy. There
were no immediate reports on any casualties.

Flares were fired into the night sky and a helicopter flew overhead.
