Local residents said U.S. Army convoys had been repeatedly targeted in the tunnel.

"It's always the same," said traffic policeman Adnan Khadim, 43, assigned to the area. "They should stop using the tunnel."

A U.S. Army Humvee could be seen burning on the western edge of the city, where one American paratrooper was killed and six were wounded in an ambush Monday. Witnesses said a roadside bomb exploded Wednesday morning as a three-vehicle convoy passed.

Four Americans were evacuated on stretchers, but witnesses could not determine the extent of the injuries. After looting an abandoned vehicle, local residents set it on fire.

35 attacks a day? Sounds as if everything is under control and the Iraqis are embracing American occupation and theft of resources.

3. Witnesses: 4 stretchers. Official US report= "Two Slightly wounded."

To me, "Slightly wounded would not require a person to be removed on a stretcher.
