Attack on Palestine Hotel Aimed at Private Security Firm?

HeadlineOct 28, 2005

Time magazine is reporting that the target of this Monday’s attack against Baghdad’s Palestine Hotel may not have been foreign journalists as was originally believed. The magazine, citing sources inside the Iraqi resistance, says the real target was a private security firm based in the hotel. The well-coordinated attack involving truck bombs killed at least six people. Time says resistance fighters believe the targeted security firm is actually a Western or Israeli government intelligence agency.
