23. NEITHER hotel was in the "Green Zone"

they were two miles away, across the Tigress River.

there have been reports of strikes within the GZ as well though.

one missle (or RPG) hit a room that was used by soldiers but it was empty at the time.

Bomb discovered at Green Zone restaurant (inside "safe" zone)
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apmideast_story.asp?category=1107&slug=Iraq%20Green%20Zone
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- An improvised bomb was found in a restaurant in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, home of the U.S. Embassy and key government offices, American officials said Thursday.

The device was found around midday Tuesday at the Green Zone Cafe, a popular hangout for Westerners living and working in the compound. A U.S. military ordnance detachment safely disarmed it, U.S. officials said.

American citizens were "strongly advised" to avoid the cafe and other restaurants in the Green Zone, according to an advisory issued by the U.S. Embassy.
