Bomb Kills Six at Iraqi Mosque; Rockets Hit Hotel

By Suleiman al-Khalidi

Guerrillas earlier fired rockets into a Baghdad hotel used by Westerners, and hundreds of U.S. troops raided houses in Saddam Hussein's hometown overnight in the hope of capturing the organizers of such attacks. <snip>

I don't recall this hotel being attacked before. Softer target?
