International Zone Again Under Fire

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Two mortars were fired Monday into Baghdad's heavily fortified International Zone where U.S. and Iraqi offices are based, Iraqi Interior Ministry officials told CNN. There was no word on casualties or damage.

At least 12 mortars were fired at the International Zone on Sunday, according to the U.S. military.

Violence flared across Baghdad as two Iraqi government employees were killed in roadside bombings and at least one civilian was killed in a suicide bombing aimed at a pro-U.S. militia checkpoint.
