Baghdad rocked with loud explosions

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- U.S.-led forces fired an artillery barrage in
Baghdad Sunday morning, rocking the capital with loud explosions.

The blasts began after 9 a.m. and lasted for at least 15 minutes.

In a brief statement to The Associated Press, the U.S. military said it
fired the artillery from a forward operating base near Iraq's Rasheed
military base southeast of Baghdad, but provided no other details.

Iraqis in the southern region of the city said American and Iraqi
forces had stepped up their operations in the Dora area of southern
Baghdad starting Saturday night.
