MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed and two wounded in a bomb attack on their convoy in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Sunday, the U.S. Army said.


"One soldier was killed and two were injured in an IED (improvised explosive device) explosion next to a military convoy this morning," Sergeant Kelly Tyler of the 101st Airborne Division told Reuters.


Iraqi police who rushed to the scene said a U.S. Humvee was destroyed in the blast.


"We heard an explosion and ran toward it. I saw four U.S. soldiers lying on the ground, with their Humvee destroyed," policeman Hamid Saleh said.

MOSUL, Iraq - Insurgents attacked a U.S. military patrol in northern Iraq (news - web sites) on Sunday, killing one soldier and wounding two, the U.S. military said. A bomb also was detonated on a railway, derailing half the carriages on a freight train but causing no injuries.


Guerrillas set off a roadside bomb as an American convoy passed through the center of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad, at around midday, Master Sgt. Kelly Tyler said.


"I heard an explosion and came running toward the site of the attack and saw three soldiers, one of them covered with blood," said Bahaa Hussein, a student who lives in the neighborhood.


Hussein said Iraqi policemen rushed out of a police station about 200 yards from the site of the explosion and cordoned off the area until U.S. troops arrived. Mosul is the largest city in the north.

3. THE SCORE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST
Before their war was won = 138. After their mission accomplished = 308 more, Total young land of the free and home of the brave heroes just following orders = 446 not counting dying among 2,516 wounded.). Iraqi men, women, and children evil doers massacred = 9,766. Those seeking vengeance for sake of family and invaded homeland honor = most. Years for Viet Cong to come together = several. Time for Iraqi resistance to build = damned near immediate. Have a nice day.:)
