The Palestine Hotel, which houses many foreign journalists in Iraq, has come under attack, forcing The Associated Press journalists to take refuge in the corridor.

The hotel was hit by three car bombs, security officials said.

There was considerable damage to the hotel’s windows and rooms on the south side of the 19-story building.

Images shown on television show heavy grey smoke near the hotel.
