Two bombers penetrated the tightly guarded area of the Iraqi capital and struck at a bazaar close to the U.S. Embassy annex and at a cafe. Witnesses said both carried backpacks and spent considerable time sipping tea in a cafe before striking.


Four employees of the private U.S. security firm DynCorp were killed and a fifth wounded. Three State Department workers were injured. At least six Iraqis died.


Condemning the bombings and extending sympathies to the families of the victims, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Thursday, "Our people who go out (to Iraq (news - web sites)) know that they are serving in dangerous circumstances."


But, he said, "It's obviously very sad and unfortunate when something happens to them or to the Iraqis who are working with them in the Green Zone and elsewhere in the country."
