BAGHDAD - At least 52 rockets or mortar bombs hit the heavily fortified Green Zone in Baghdad in the past week, Brigadier General Qassim Atta, spokesman for the Iraqi army in the capital, said on Tuesday.

Atta said another 90 mortar bombs or rockets struck various other places in Baghdad over the same period.

The Green Zone, seat of the Iraqi government and the US embassy, has come under sustained attacks in recent weeks, causing the deaths of four Americans, including two soldiers, and two of Sunni Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi’s Iraqi guards.
