On Thursday, a mortar round landed near a compound where a joint press conference was being held with Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki and UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon.
One passage in the report struck me.
Mr Ban flinched and momentarily half-ducked behind the table before recovering his composure. Mr Maliki did not react.
A bomb landed a mere 100 yards away and caused a huge explosion but Prime Minister Maliki didn't even flinch. Guess it must be ordinary (post-'Surge') life in Iraq's capital.
