Iraq's propaganda ministry hit BAGHDAD, March 29 (AFP) - Waves of attacks on the Iraqi capital and its surrounds continued Saturday, the 10th day of the war, with at least one missile crashing into the Information Ministry at dawn after scores of people died in a market. The top floor of the 11-storey city centre building, from where the regime runs its propaganda campaign and maintains a strict control over the media, was gutted. No one was reported injured but the force of the blast, at a time when the high-rise is usually empty, was felt down to the ground floor where water-pipes burst. Satellite dishes on the roof were also damaged as the capital was pounded by heavy bombardment. Iraq's state-run Internet company is housed on the 11th floor. In the international press centre, which gives onto the street, windows were blown out. |
