Insurgents killed an American soldier in a roadside bombing in Baghdad on Tuesday and lobbed mortars into the US headquarters area of the capital, wounding four people and raising huge explosions downtown for the second night in a row. Rebels fired mortars Tuesday night into the "Green Zone," the highly guarded headquarters area of the US-led occupation in downtown Baghdad, shaking the capital with huge explosions, police said. Four large explosions could be heard and smoke could be seen rising from the northern end of the one-square-mile zone near the al-Jamhuriya Bridge over the Tigris River. The US military command confirmed two mortar impacts in the city center but did not say where. Iraqi police said two of the rounds landed in the Green Zone.
