A day after twin bombings at the cafe and an open market inside the Green Zone — home to U.S. officials and the Iraqi government — killed six people and injured another 20, soldiers in a Humvee guarded the razor-wire encircled bomb site.

“When you’re in a fixed site like this (Green Zone), they’re going to get you. You can’t run away,” said an Army sergeant surveying the site who requested anonymity. “We don’t know how long it took them to build (the bomb) or how. Maybe there are more. “

Flies swarmed on the grisly remains, including a piece of what appeared to be a human skull, still lying at the cafe.

At the Ibn Sina hospital inside the Green Zone, American officials said three victims had been transferred to another medical facility in Iraq, but that five remained in intensive care.

One of the patients, identified as an American civilian contractor, could be seen in the intensive care unit after brain surgery to repair injuries from the explosion. The exact number of wounded in the blast still in the hospital wasn’t immediately available.
