Two powerful explosions rock Baghdad

Two powerful explosions rocked central Baghdad on Wednesday as plumes of smoke could be seen rising above the area near the heavily fortified Green Zone, said witnesses, Xinhua reported.
  
A witness in central Baghdad told Xinhua that the two massive blasts were apparently caused by two car bombings at the garage of a government building in front of the al-Rasheed Hotel at the edge of the Green Zone, which houses some Iraqi government offices and foreign embassies, including a U.S. one.
  
The Iraqi police could not immediately give any comment on the incident.
