Baghdad - Guerrillas fired mortars at a Baghdad police station on Monday, wounding two policemen and three civilians, police said, in an attack that coincided with a signing ceremony for Iraq's interim constitution.

A projectile also hit a nearby house, smashing windows and blowing a hole in a wall but causing no casualties, witnesses said.

In the late afternoon, a blast echoed across the city centre, rattling windows. A United States Army spokesperson said he had no information on whether the blast was controlled. An explosion earlier in the afternoon had been a controlled detonation of seized explosives, the Army said.
