Unidentified attackers fired rockets into central Baghdad in a rare daylight salvo Sunday, killing a civilian and wounding two, police said.
The rockets, apparently fired from the south of the city, followed a rocket attack Saturday night that killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded seven near the flashpoint town of Falluja.
Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of U.S. army operations in Iraq, said three rockets hit a base near the town west of Baghdad and two landed outside. The wounded comprised six from the army and one from the navy.
In other attacks on Sunday, a bomb exploded at a police station in Khalis, north of Baghdad, killing a policeman and wounding two. A roadside bomb intended for a U.S. convoy hurt a municipal worker in the northern city of Mosul, police said.
