Missile rocks Kuwait City


An explosion rocked a shopping mall in central Kuwait City early Saturday.

A Kuwaiti security official said the explosion was in the vicinity of the Souq Sharq district, on the Gulf coast near the center of the city, according to a report from the Reuters news agency. Several missiles have been launched at Kuwait from Iraq since the U.S.-led war against Iraq began.

A policeman near the scene told Reuters he had seen a missile come in and land in the sea.

Earlier, more than 50 people were reported killed in a Baghdad marketplace as bombing of the Iraqi capital resumed after nightfall Friday.
