Two mortar rounds hit Baghdad near the convention centre where the new Iraqi parliament was gathering for its second session, <i>AFP</i> reported Tuesday. 

 

However, it was not immediately clear whether the rounds had caused any casualties or damage inside the heavily fortified city centre compound known as the Green Zone, which contains the convention centre as well as the US embassy and the offices of the interim government.
