Uh, What time does my plane leave again?

It was a rough day today for the Secretary General of the UN, during his visit to Baghdad.

From the Telegraph of the UK...

Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary-general, was shaken but unhurt yesterday when a rocket exploded near him during a visit to Baghdad.

The incident happened during a press conference in the fortified Green Zone where Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, was telling journalists of the city's improving security situation.

While Mr Maliki did not move, Mr Ban flinched and ducked behind his podium before turning to one of his aides and asking: "Is it OK?"
