There was a breach of security in one of the world's most heavily guarded enclaves today when a suicide bomber struck inside Baghdad's Green Zone, where the Iraqi government is housed. Eight were killed, including three members of the Iraqi parliament. President strongly condemned the action, saying it "reminds us that there is an enemy willing to bomb innocent people in a symbol of democracy." Brian Bennett is in Baghdad for Time magazine.
