A worker carries out repairs to the Ishtar Sheraton Hotel in Baghdad October 16, 2010. The hotel is one of six undergoing restoration to give Baghdad's dusty skyline a bit of a facelift ahead of the Arab League summit in 2011, the first major event Iraq is to host since the invasion. Picture taken October 16, 2010.

still there.

you mean the one in 14th ramadan?

I didn't realise it was bombed though. I remember eating there in 2003 or early 2004? Saw it whilst driving in 14th ramadan a few months ago, but I personally prefer crispy in wathiq square (hay al wahda).
