BAQUBA, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Gunmen attacked two police stations on Friday around Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, where the anti-American insurgency has been strong, witnesses said.

The gunmen used rocket-propelled grenades and mortars to hit the Mafraq police post on the outskirts of the religiously mixed town city. Another station under construction south of the town was also attacked.

Hospital officials said they received no casualties from the fighting, which involved U.S. forces who secured the stations with armoured vehicles.

U.S. and Iraqi troops frequently come under attack in Baquba, an agricultural centre between Baghdad and the Iranian border.
