BAGHDAD (AP)--U.S.-led coalition forces launched a military operation in Baghdad late Wednesday, targeting a facility used by insurgents and setting off explosions that reverberated through the Iraqi capital.

Reports from cable news outlets said Bradley fighting vehicles and AC-130 gunships were used in the attack that left the building destroyed.

"The facility is a known meeting, planning, storage and rendezvous point for belligerent elements currently conducting attacks on coalition forces and infrastructure," the Pentagon said in a statement from Washington, The Associated Press reported.

"The destruction of this structure will deny enemy forces any use of it in the future."

The 1st Armored Division operation came hours after a suicide bombing at a headquarters for Italian forces in the southern city of Nasiriyah - the deadliest assault on U.S. allies in Iraq since the U.S.-led occupation.

Up to a dozen detonations were heard about 9:15 p.m., apparently centered away from the heart of the city.


Operation Iron Hammer


Television reporters in Baghdad said the attack on the warehouse was part of Operation Iron Hammer.

Also in Baghdad Wednesday, U.S. troops came under mortar attack from a van which had been dropping off mortar tubes at various locations, according to cable news outlets. Apache helicopters attacked the van, killing two people inside and wounding three others. A number of others were taken into custody, according to the reports.

In another incident reported by Fox News, U.S. forces fired on a truck after coming under mortar fire. The attackers apparently escaped but were believed wounded, Fox News reported.
