MSNBC REPORTS GREEN ZONE AND BAGHDAD PUT ON CURFEW AFTER MORTAR ATTACKS

No sooner had President Bush told a gathering of military people in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday on how well "the surge" was working in Iraq, than a barrage of mortar attacks on the Green Zone and elsewhere in Baghdad has forced the U.S. military to put ALL of Baghdad on a curfew until Sunday night.

BAGHDAD - The U.S. Embassy says one American has been killed in rocket or mortar attacks against the Green Zone.

The heavily fortified area and other parts of Baghdad have been hammered by rockets and mortars for most of this week.

Embassy spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo identified the American killed Thursday as a government employee but says she can give no further details until relatives are notified.
