Car bombs defused in the Green Zone

This is a near miss.

U.S. troops blew up two cars Tuesday inside the heavily fortified Green Zone after dogs indicated explosives were inside the vehicles that were used in the motorcade of the parliament speaker, an adviser to parliament said.

It's good news that the countermeasures work. It's bad news that they had to.

UPDATE: A very different version from the AP. One of the bombs went partway off inside the green zone, kind of a fizzle, that led to the discovery of more explosives beneath it. So, it was a nearer miss than first presented.
