U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon holds his chin during his meeting with Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (not pictured) in Baghdad March 22, 2007. Ban was left shaken but unhurt on Thursday on his first visit to Baghdad after a Katyusha rocket landed just metres from a building where he was giving a news conference. Ban and Maliki discussed a five-year reconstruction plan for Iraq that the secretary general launched last week as a "tool for unlocking Iraq's own potential".
