On October 12 , 2003 , a Car Bomb drove past a checkpoint near the hotel. It drove down a side street before it was fired on by guards and exploded, killing the Suicide Bomber and six Iraqis. 32 other people were wounded, including 3 US soldiers. Security officials said that concrete barriers absorbed much of the blast, and prevented the car from destroying the hotel. Western journalists, workers, and American and Iraqi members of the Iraqi Governing Council frequently stayed at the hotel. EXTERNAL LINKS
