“(CBS/AP) As a campaign of terror bombs and escalating attacks on American troops heightened tensions, rumors of looming trouble spread through Baghdad on Thursday.

One leaflet on the streets, purporting to be from the deposed Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, called for a general strike Saturday through Monday "to prove to our enemy that we are united people." The leaflet also said the day will mark the start of some kind of uprising.

In violence Thursday, Iraqi officers intercepted a motorist who tried to toss a hand grenade into a police station, an American solider was wounded when a bomb exploded near a U.S. Army convoy in the northern city of Mosul, and saboteurs bombed a train carrying Army supplies west of Baghdad.

An explosion shook Baghdad's old quarter, killing at least two people and triggering a large fire. It was unclear what caused the blast.

The U.S. command reported on Wednesday the number of attacks in the past week had jumped sharply to an average of 33 a day. That surge in violence led the United Nations to join the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders in reducing Iraq staff.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the attacks in the last 72 hours appeared to signal "a new phase" in postwar violence.
