Explosion in Iraqi Parliament building in the Green Zone

UPDATE: Latest AP version. 8 killed, 30 wounded. Also, more explosives were found. "The officials also said two satchel bombs were found inside the building near the dining hall."

AP: "Apparently concerned that an attack might take place, security officials at the parliament were using sniffer dogs earlier Thursday as people entered the building — a rare precaution."

Reuters: "We heard a huge explosion inside the restaurant. We went to see what was going on. We saw lots of smoke coming from the hall, with people lying on the ground and pools of blood," the parliamentary official told Reuters by telephone from the scene..... "There was a big blast, I saw the fire. There were many, many wounded. Windows were shattered."

(This comes after two suicide vests were found in the green zone on Sunday Apr. 1.)

More scattered details in a later AP version. "A television camera and videotape belonging to a Western TV crew was confiscated by security guards moments after the attack."
