DOHA - A US missile hit the Baghdad offices of Al-Jazeera television early Tuesday wounding a cameraman and leaving a correspondent missing, the Qatar-based Arabic news network said.
The station aired footage of the cameraman being taking away for treatment in a car belonging to rival network Abu Dhabi television. Al-Jazeera's offices are near the Mansur Hotel, not far from the information ministry.

The administrative district around Saddam Hussein's Republican Palace came under attack by a US air force A10 "tank killer" plane for the first time Tuesday as US armor engaged in fierce fighting with Iraqi troops inside the sprawling city center compound.
