Iraq Attacks Wound Seven U.S. Soldiers
(Paul Haven, The Associated Press, 08 July 2003)
A blistering series of attacks, coming nearly hourly, wounded seven U.S. soldiers in Iraq on Tuesday . . . Tuesday brought fresh attacks in what has become a bloody and uncertain peace for coalition forces. . . . Insurgents dropped a homemade bomb from a bridge onto a passing U.S. military convoy in Baghdad, wounding two soldiers. Another two soldiers were injured when their vehicle struck a land mine in the capital, said Sgt. Patrick Compton, a military spokesman. . . . In Kirkuk, 175 miles north of the capital, assailants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a military convoy, wounding three servicemen. The patrol returned fire, but there was no word of Iraqi casualties or arrests. . . . Witnesses said three Iraqis - including a 13-year-old boy - were killed following a grenade attack on a police station in a Baghdad suburb. Witnesses told Associated Press Television News the soldiers returned fire, but that those who died had not attacked the police station. . . . Late Monday, insurgents fired mortars at a base near Balad, 55 miles north of the capital, the military said. U.S. forces subsequently caught 12 of the suspected attackers. . . . Since President Bush declared major combat in Iraq over on May 1, 29 U.S. servicemen have been killed by hostile fire and 44 others have died in accidents and other non-hostile circumstances, a total of 73.
