"It was not a direct hit and, mercifully, there were no staff members indoors when it happened, so there are no casualties," Mr. Huguenin-Benjamin said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- CNN
Coalition bombing Wednesday damaged a maternity hospital and the offices of the Iraqi Red Crescent, but caused no casualties, a spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

After hearing explosions in Baghdad during the morning, the ICRC sent a team to investigate what had been hit, ICRC spokesman Roland Huguenin-Benjamin said.

The team determined that the blast had occurred across the street from the buildings -- windows were shattered, ceilings had fallen in and cars parked in front of the buildings were damaged, he said.
