Reports are starting to show up on Twitter of explosions in the International Zone in Baghdad, aka the Green Zone. It is about 2:15 a.m. in Baghdad, IIRC.

Breaking news update! Iraqis shut down internet at U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

Just minutes ago news came from within the United States Embassy in Baghdad that the Iraqis have shut down internet service for those barricaded inside. Limited text messages via private cell phones are still coming through.

SNIP-——

A three word text was released from inside the Embassy about six hours ago: “Too late Alamo.” That message is open to interpretation.

There has been ample opportunity for the opposition party to have addressed the issue of the president’s many foul ups before this. They chose instead to protect both he and his admin from being held to account. they share every bit of the blame in this and the fallout from it.

MORE TWEETS:

Previous round of explosions in Baghdad (about an hour ago) were a set of four IEDs. Nothing catastrophic, but next VBIED wave likely soon.

Terry Moran, ABC News London
Hearing that Iraqi military base at Taji—just 20 miles north of Baghdad—has fallen to ISIS. Main resupply depot for Iraqi army. Disaster.

Not for any Texan, or American who knows their history.

It looks like it close to the Green Zone, but not inside:

@leahmcelrath One of the IEDs went off across the river from the Green Zone, on Saadoun Street. Nothing in actual Green Zone yet I've seen.
