A suicide car bomb attack targeted a US military convoy near Baghdad
airport yesterday, killing a civilian and wounding 25 others, a witness
said.
"A suicide bomber drove a vehicle into a US military convoy and blew
himself up," Sami Hadad told Xinhua.
He said the attack took place in the
al-Atebaa neighborhood near the main road leading to Baghdad International
Airport, setting a US Hamvee and two civilian cars ablaze.
"A civilian was
killed in the blast and 25 others wounded," he said, adding it is unclear
whether there is any US casualty.
He said that US troops immediately cordoned
off the scene.
The US military had no comment on the incident.
The road
leading to the airport is one of the most dangerous sections in
Iraq.
