U.S. military forensics experts have arrived on the scene of that explosion. They are combing through the rubble, trying to gather evidence that will point them towards who might have carried out this attack. The attack by car bomb happened at mid morning here. There were several people who died, among them five Iraqi policemen who were charged with guarding the diplomatic compound. The explosion was strong enough to cause the collapse of the entire facade of the building. Several vehicles that were parked nearby were also destroyed. No word yet on who might be behind that explosion. But I can tell you that shortly after it happened, several people gathered here, went inside the compound and looted it and they defaced many photographs of the Jordanian royal family. The Jordanian position vis-a-vis the American occupation of Iraq has provoked controversy in Iraq. The latest round of controversy around the fact that Jordan granted asylum to Saddam Hussein's two daughters just a few days ago -- Leon.</s>HARRIS: Harris Whitbeck reporting live for us from Baghdad by video phone. Thanks, Harris.
