Rebel Bombs Injure 6 U.S. Troops in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Rebels detonated three homemade bombs in separate incidents Saturday that set aflame a fuel depot and injured six American soldiers, the military said. snip

The violence serves as a reminder that insurgents remain defiant despite the capture of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).


In the northern city of Mosul on Saturday, witnesses said rebels fired from a car on a U.S. convoy. The soldiers pursued the attackers, and shot and killed four of them. The military, which usually only reports deaths of coalition soldiers, did not confirm that report.


Also in Mosul, rebel gunmen on Friday assassinated a Sunni Muslim tribal leader who backed the coalition. Anti-U.S. guerrillas have targeted Iraqi police and other officials who cooperate with the U.S.-led occupation authorities.
