U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made a surprise visit to Baghdad on Thursday. During a joint news conference, Iraq’s prime minister said Ban Ki-moon’s visit showed the city was “on the road to stability.” Minutes later, the news conference was interrupted. A rocket exploded just 50 yards away from their meeting. Ban Ki-moon cringed and ducked at the sound of the blast.
