BAGHDAD, Sept. 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Two coordinated roadside bombs struck a US military convoy in eastern Baghdad on Thursday morning, damaging two US Humvees, an Interior Ministry source said.

"Two roadside bombs exploded in quick succession at about 6:55 a.m. (0255 GMT) near a US military convoy on al-Qanat Street near the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in eastern Baghdad," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The US troops sealed off the area, preventing Iraqi police from approaching the scene, the source said, adding that some policemen said they saw two Humvees caught fire.

In a separate incident, another roadside bomb detonated at about 8:50 a.m. (0450 GMT) near al-Shaab Stadium in easternBaghdad when a US military patrol was passing by, damaging a US military vehicle and wounding an Iraqi civilian, the source said.
