I'm not buying the Sadr truce...even as hudna.

Explosions rack Green Zone in Iraq.

Splinter group of Mookie al Sadr's militia blamed. (Splinter group my ass...it's Mookie at work, pure and simple.)

A series of rockets or mortars has struck Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, home to the U.S. Embassy and Iraqi government headquarters.

At least 10 blasts were heard inside the 10-square-kilometer complex Saturday, as authorities warned people to take cover. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The Green Zone has been a frequent target of rocket and mortar attacks. The U.S. military has blamed the attacks on Iranian-backed Shi'ite militants who have broken away from radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

About Mookie's hudna.
