A loud explosion was heard in central Baghdad on Tuesday. Thick black smoke was seen rising from the direction of the heavily fortified Green Zone, home to government offices, foreign embassies and the U.S. military.

The U.S. military had no immediate information and it was not known what caused the blast or where it occurred.

Iraq's incoming Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari was meeting Tuesday with the presidential council to try to finalize the remaining seats in his Cabinet before Iraq's first democratically elected government was to be sworn in.
