BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Guerrillas fired rockets at the city hall building in Mosul on Saturday, killing two people and wounding 13, in another deadly attack on Iraqis working with U.S.-led occupation forces.

Colonel Shamil Ahmad, head of the city hall police department, said a child and two police were among the wounded. He said at least three attackers launched two Katyusha rockets, which hit the outer blast walls protecting the building. [...]

In another incident in the city on Saturday, police fought a shoot-out with a criminal gang that had stolen $44,000 in money for government salaries. A policeman and a robber were killed, and two gang members captured, police said.
