| BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Two rockets and a car bomb hit the Palestine Hotel on Monday, injuring at least one person and causing considerable damage to the building that houses many foreign journalists, Iraqi police said. Video of the blast showed huge clouds of smoke and dust billowing from the area. The blast shattered windows and caused heavy damage to the south side of the 19-story building, forcing journalists, including those from The Associated Press, to take refuge in the corridor.
