BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A large explosion has been heard in central Baghdad, coalition officials tell CNN, hours before the planned signing of the country's interim constitution.

There were no immediate details on the cause of Friday's blast or if there were any casualties.

There had been fears insurgents or Saddam Hussein loyalists may try and disrupt the constitution signing ceremony.

I can't believe that we are sending Iraq back to the stone age. This constitution says that no laws can be made that will violate the tenets of Islam. How long before Sharia is in place there, a few years?

Bush's policies are making my blood boil right now!
