The US military has said guerrillas fired at least two rockets or mortars at the headquarters of the US-led administration in Baghdad. There were no reports of damage or casualties.
The US Secretary of State Colin Powell had spent several hours in the headquarters of the US-led administration in the centre of the city earlier today before leaving for Saudi Arabia.
Journalists walk out during Powell speech
Earlier, Arab journalists walked out of a news conference in Baghdad just as Mr Powell was about to begin a speech.
The journalists were protesting at the general lack of security and the killing by US soldiers of two Iraqi journalists. Mr Powell arrived in Baghdad this morning on a surprise visit.
A representative of the Iraqi media read out a statement at the start of the news conference, condemning the killings as Mr Powell and Iraq's US governor, Paul Bremer, looked on.
It had earlier been reported that an Iraqi journalist working for a Dubai-based satellite television channel - who was injured when he and a colleague came under fire yesterday from US troops in Baghdad - had died.
His cameraman died yesterday after the incident at a road checkpoint in Baghdad city centre.
Bush addresses diplomats
Meanwhile, the US President George W Bush has said there can be ‘no neutral ground in the fight between civilisation and terror’.
Speaking to diplomats in Washington on the first anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, he said last week's train bombing attacks in Madrid were a reminder that the civilised world was at war.
He said the US was sending an ‘unmistakable message to the terrorists’ that they would face their day of justice.
