Iraqi police and U.S. troops were seen securing those weapons, which apparently had not been fired, and U.S. soldiers were seen searching donkey carts on nearby streets. 


One man was carried away bleeding from the Palestine Hotel, where many foreign journalists and U.S. workers are staying. No other casualties were reported at the Palestine or the Sheraton Hotel across the street, and police said no one was hurt at the ministry. 


"This is the work of terrorists," said Loay Yunis Khalil, manager of the Palestine Hotel. 


Elsewhere, a U.S. soldier from the 82nd Airborne Division was killed and two were injured near the city of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, on Thursday when a roadside bomb exploded next to their convoy, the military said Friday. 


To the south, in the city of Karbala, at least four mortar shells were fired into a Thai military camp Thursday, officials in Bangkok said Friday. They reported no casualties. 


The Baghdad attacks occurred at the height of "Operation Iron Hammer," the U.S. military counteroffensive against rebels in and around the capital. The U.S. commander in the capital, Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey, said Thursday that the 12-day crackdown had contributed to a 70 percent decrease in rebel activity. 


The rocket attacks appeared intended to demonstrate that the operation hasn't defeated the rebels. Nobody claimed responsibility and there were no immediate reports of arrests. 


The attacks both occurred about 7:20 a.m. At least eight rockets were fired at the Oil Ministry, but only two of them detonated, Col. Peter Mansoor of the U.S. 1st Armored Division said. 


The ministry was closed Friday for the Muslim day of prayer. A ministry official told Dow Jones Newswires that a fire was quickly extinguished and caused no major damage to the building. He said oil production would not be affected. 


Mansoor said one rocket hit the Palestine Hotel, but at least five rocket holes could be seen on the eighth, 15th and 16th floors of the 18-story structure. Another rocket hit the Sheraton. 


Ziyad, a 25-year-old Iraqi man who was staying with his bride Rownaq at the Palestine for their wedding night, was two doors down from one of the areas hit on the 15th floor. 


"We were sleeping when we heard the sound of a rocket," he said. "This is our wedding present." 


Employees of U.S. agencies met in the Palestine lobby for impromptu security briefings from military consultants. 


At least one man was injured at the Palestine Hotel, and was carried away by U.S. military medics on a stretcher. He was bleeding from his head. Mansoor confirmed one injury, but didn't know the man's nationality or more details about him. 


He said the attacks bore a close resemblance to a strike last month on the Al-Rasheed Hotel, just across the Tigris River, which housed many U.S. military officials and occupation authorities. One soldier was killed at the Al-Rasheed, which has since been evacuated. 





"It was similar to the attack on the Rasheed Hotel," he said. "Same type of techniques." 

Police and soldiers found a rocket launcher on Saadoun Street, which runs beside the Palestine, perched atop a donkey cart. 

Iraqi police 1st Lt. Amar Arshad said the launcher had the capacity to fire 30 rockets. It was unclear how many were launched, but five unfired rockets sat in the launcher. 

Mansoor said another rocket-launcher, also on a donkey cart, was found near the Oil Ministry. Iraq's police chief, Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim, said the attacks were carried out by "mere terrorists." 

"They depend on animals to kill people. Even the animals are not safe from them," he said. "They want to steal freedom from the Iraqi people, but we will chase them down." 

Witnesses reported hearing five explosions at the Oil Ministry, and thick black smoke poured from the heavily guarded compound. Fire trucks moved about the grounds. Ibrahim said no one was injured. 

The Sheraton and Palestine hotels once belonged to international chains, but both are operated by Iraqis. 

The hotels are among the best-protected in Baghdad, with several security checkpoints on the approaches, blast barriers on surrounding streets and U.S. armored personnel carriers stationed outside. They stand in front of Firdaus Square, where Iraqis famously toppled a statue of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) on April 9. 

The Palestine Hotel, which housed most foreign journalists in Iraq during the war, was shelled by a U.S. tank on April 8, killing two cameramen, one from Spain and one from Ukraine. The U.S. Army has called the shooting justified. 

The attacks came a day after a truck bomb exploded near a Kurdish party office in the northern oil city of Kirkuk, killing five people and wounding 30 in an attack local officials blamed on Islamic extremists linked to al-Qaida. 

The powerful explosion shattered windows and damaged doors at the two-story, yellow-and-green building of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. It also blew out windows of a nearby radio-television station. 

At about the same time, twin suicide truck bombs in Istanbul, Turkey, exploded at a London-based bank and the British consulate. At least 27 people were killed and nearly 450 were wounded.

Syria Demands U.N. Condemn Israeli Attack (AP) - Syria demanded that the U.N. Security Council condemn Israel's airstrike against a purported terrorist training camp near Damascus, but the United States said it would not support any resolution that does not also criticize attacks against Israel. At an emergency meeting called at Syria's request Sunday, most council diplomats spoke out against both the airstrike and the suicide bombing in the Israeli port city of Haifa that killed 19 people and prompted Israel's retaliation. However, U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte focused his condemnation on the Haifa attack, while blaming Syria for harboring terrorists

Bush: Hussein 'A Danger to the World'

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites), defending his decision to go to war in Iraq (news - web sites), said Friday that a search for weapons of mass destruction made clear that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was "a danger to the world" even though investigators have failed so far to find any illegal arsenal.

A leading congressional critic, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, said the results of the search to date demonstrated no imminent threat existed "and there was time for more diplomatic effort before we went to war."

 

Bush made his comments at the White House, Pelosi in the Capitol, the two offering differing interpretations of an interim report submitted by chief U.S. weapons inspector David Kay.

 

Kay, emerging later from a briefing with Senate Armed Services Committee (news - web sites) members, emphasized that they were "closing no files, reaching no final conclusions." He said they had found "two dozen major cases" where Saddam had hidden banned equipment or engaged in other prohibited activities, chiefly developing missiles that exceeded the 150 kilometer range set by the U.N.

 

While Kay's initial report said no weapons of mass destruction have been found, Bush said the investigation showed that Saddam was violating U.N. resolutions demanding that he disarm. "The report states that Saddam Hussein's regime had a clandestine network of biological laboratories, a live strain of deadly agent botulinum, sophisticated concealment efforts, and advanced design work on prohibited longer range missiles," the president said.

 

He said the findings show that Saddam "actively deceived the international community, that Saddam Hussein, was in clear violation of United Nations (news - web sites) Security Council resolution 1441 and that Saddam Hussein was a danger to the world," he said. Bush did not reply directly when asked if he was still confident that banned weapons would be found.

 

The president brushed aside a poll that said public confidence in his ability to deal wisely with an international crisis had dropped sharply. "Sometimes the American people like the decisions I make, sometimes they don't," he said. "But they need to know I'll make tough decisions based upon what I think is right."

 

Pelosi, D-Calif., who met with Kay in a secure room in the Capitol, emerged to tell reporters that "it was clear to me that there was no imminence of a threat for weapons of mass destruction," as the White House had claimed.

 

She said the discoveries made so far are evidence of Iraq's aspiration for a weapons program, but added there was a difference between that and achieving the ability to deploy such weapons.

 

Pelosi, who voted against last year's authorization of the use of force in Iraq, said the classified intelligence she saw at the time did not support the claim of an imminent threat of the banned weapons.

 

"That was correct," she told reporters after meeting with Kay."

 

On Thursday, Kay insisted he needed another six to nine months of searching before he would feel confident enough to issue any conclusions about Iraq's weapons program. The Bush administration is asking for $600 million to continue the search, according to congressional officials.

 

"We have not found at this point actual weapons," Kay said after briefing lawmakers behind closed doors. "It does not mean we've concluded there are no actual weapons."

 

In a statement to several congressional committees Thursday, he only made one strong finding — that Saddam was actively developing missiles that exceeded range limits imposed by the United Nations.

 

"In addition to intent, we have found a large body of continuing activities and equipment that were not declared to the U.N. inspectors when they returned in November of last year," Kay said.

 

Taken together, Kay's findings do not validate most of Bush's prewar assertions that Saddam had widespread chemical and biological weapons and programs to make more, and was developing a nuclear weapon. Kay did not address U.S. assertions about Saddam's ties to terrorist groups, particularly al-Qaida.

 

Critics have contended that the U.S. intelligence community made serious errors in its analysis of the threat posed by Iraq or the administration exaggerated what intelligence information it did have to persuade a skeptical world to support an invasion.

 

 

 

"Did we misread it, or did they mislead us, or did they simply get it wrong? Whatever the answer is, it's not a good answer," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"I'm not pleased by what I heard today," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., the committee's chairman, "but we should be willing to adopt a wait-and-see attitude — and that's the only alternative we really have."

Kay did say, however, that there was evidence that Iraq "focused on maintaining small, covert capabilities that could be activated quickly to surge the production of (biological weapons) agents."

To that end, he described "a clandestine network of laboratories and safehouses within the Iraqi Intelligence Service that contained equipment ... suitable for continuing (chemical and biological weapon) research." Whether the equipment was actually utilized for that purpose, Kay's report does not say.

Kay said the information on trailers alleged to be mobile biological weapons labs was inconclusive.
