Large Explosion Rocks Central Baghdad
2005-03-09
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A large explosion hit central Baghdad on Wednesday, shaking buildings and covering the area in a large plume of black smoke.

Volleys of automatic weapons fire could be heard before and after the blast, which came at dawn. A large cloud of black smoke rose a few blocks from Firdous Square, the roundabout in central Baghdad where Iraqis toppled a statue of Saddam Hussein on April 9, 2003. It was not known what had caused the blast or what triggered the gunfire
