Rocket blast explodes in Baghdad's Green Zone as US Vice President Dick Cheney visits the Iraqi capital

According to Iraqi sources, a rocket exploded Wednesday afternoon in the green zone of Baghdad, an area controlled by US and Iraqi security forces. The morning of the same day, US Vice President Dick Cheney made a sudden visit to the region, where he met with Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani. " The meeting of the President Dick Cheney is not interrupted by the explosion ," he said Vice President's spokeswoman Leah Ann McBride. It is noted that during Cheney's previous visit to the area, there was a kamikaze attack. It seems that the Iraqis do not appreciate the "beneficial" work of the US vice president in their country.
