BAGHDAD, Iraq - A mortar attack on a building housing offices of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Thursday wounded one American, an embassy spokesman said.

The mortar round hit the roof of one of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s former palaces inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said on condition of anonymity.
