The Tomahawk Building is located close to the Pyramid Building. We call it Tomahawk because
several Tomahawk missles blasted away at the structure at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The Tomahawk Building was part of the Finance Minister's complex before Operation Iraqi Freedom. After the U.S. Army
invaded Baghdad, it became part of a Forward Operating Base in the Green Zone, now called the International Zone. Several
Tomahawk cruise missles blasted the huge building on the first night of the war, and now the insides stand as ruins.

The building shook so hard during the bombing that the outside of the building literally fell off in places.
|
|
|
While the columns may have fallen, the blue tile over the entry-way remained untouched.
