I woke up this morning and flicked on the news and it's saying those blasts last night were from an ammunitions store in a US base in southern Baghdad. I don't believe that for a second, unless there was that AND rocket attacks into the IZ. Last night, some of the things we heard were so loud and made the windows rattle that there's no way they were in the south of Baghdad - they must have been around here. There were other, quiter ones, more thuds than bangs. Some media reports are of around 20 explosions but I heard upwards of 50, mostly sounding further away. I doubt I'll get any more info about it as whatever it was they're obviously not letting on.

I read all your blogs today. I really don't know what to say, except I hope you keep safe. Also thoughts to Riverbend. And for Iraq of course.
yo dude
hope you are dodging those missiles. Top item on the news last night was a recent report in The Lancet stating that 655,000 Iraqis have now been killed during the war, twice as many as were killed during Saddam's 25 year regime. The report is being poo-pooed by Bush, but then it would be eh?
Scary stuff.
Anyways, you probably already knew that.
Hope you are ok and enjoying your embassy parties & bbqs, is it still really hot? Here autum has hit us, torrential rain yesterday - the whole of Newbury was flooded - today it's bright again but the mornings are very cold.
Am reading your blog pretty regularly, it's good to keep up so keep those posts coming, take care matey xxx Rach
