Baghdad,(Saba) - Two powerful explosions were heard in Baghdad Sunday night, an AFP correspondent reported. ‏
It was not clear where the blasts occurred, but resistance have been shelling the US-led coalition's Baghdad compound on an almost nightly basis since the end of October. ‏

Three US soldiers were wounded when resistance shelled the citadel-like coalition compound last Tuesday. ‏

The US military has detained 35 people in connection with last month's rocket attack on Baghdad's Rashid hotel which killed a US colonel and wounded 17 others, a senior US military officer told AFP Sunday. ‏

The men were rounded up early Saturday morning in a raid on Baghdad's ritzy Mansur district by four companies from the US army's First Armoured Division. ‏

The officer cautioned it was not certain that the men were definitely the ones behind the attack on the Rashid hotel. ‏
