Attacks on Iraq's Green Zone continue

BAGHDAD (AP) - Shiite militants are hammering the U.S.-protected
Green Zone with rockets and mortars for the fourth day this week.

Thick, black smoke is billowing from inside the heavily
fortified home to the U.S. Embassy and Iraqi government.

An embassy spokeswoman says no one has been injured in today's
attacks.

American military officials say the attacks are coming from
breakaway factions of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi
Army.

The groups are believed to be funded and trained by Iran.
However, Iran has denied the allegations.
