Police Station attack in Ramadi wounds 6; US vehicle blown up in Baghdad

Guerrillas attacked a police station in the western (Sunni Arab) town of Ramadi on Thursday. They wounded two police officers and four civilians with small arms and rocket-propelled grenad fire from a black BMW.

In Baghdad, witnesses saw a field artillery ammunition-support truck give off billowing smoke after it hit a mine at a major intersection. The US military said there were no casualties.
