Wolfowitz survives mortar attack

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Several mortars have slammed into the Baghdad hotel where U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was staying, injuring several people, coalition officials have told CNN.

As many as six mortars were fired at the Al-Rasheed Hotel -- used by many coalition officials -- about 6 a.m. local time Sunday morning (0300 GMT), officials said.

There were reports of injuries but Wolfowitz was unharmed and led away from by security forces, said U.S. officials.
