BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A loud blast rang out across central Baghdad after dark on Friday, Reuters witnesses said.
The U.S. Army had no immediate information on the cause of the blast. Several times in the last few months, the U.S.-led administration headquarters in Baghdad has been targeted by mortars or rockets.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — An explosion was heard in the Iraqi capital late Friday, and a U.S. military spokesman said it appeared the blast was near the Dutch Embassy.
The spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was unclear whether the embassy itself was targeted or how close the explosion was to the building.
A quick reaction force from the 1st Armored Division was sent to the area, he said.
