[Future Snake Eater]

Was the IZ hit just outside the south entrance? I’m trying to remember where the various ministry buildings are.

Don’t know anything about the Finance Ministry. The only northern part of Baghdad I know is Sadr City, Shaab, and Ur.

The big boom nature of this attack makes it sound like AQI, too.

Was the IZ hit just outside the south entrance? I’m trying to remember where the various ministry buildings are.

I was at the Ministry of Finance once in 2007 when I was working with the Ministry of Interior (in the Rusafa District.) My sense of direction is awful, but I remember it was near the Parliament building.

Some mortars also landed inside the IZ this morning.

It certainly smells like AQI.
