Baghdad's hotels are vulnerable to resistance attacks

A suspected car bomb has exploded outside a Baghdad hotel used by foreigners and close to the Australian embassy, wounding at least two people.


Aljazeera's correspondent reports that a stationary car exploded outside the Qarma hotel in the Jadiriya area of central Baghdad. The blast was also close to an Australian military checkpoint near the embassy.

The hotel was not severely damaged in the blast, although several windows were blown out.

Haitham Yusuf, a hotel waiter standing among shattered glass in the lobby, said no Westerners had been in the hotel when the bomb went off.

"We had a few Egyptians and Jordanians staying in the hotel, and we had a newlywed Iraqi couple but they left right after the blast," he said.

Hotels used by foreigners have often been targeted by those resisting US-led occupation of Iraq.
