TIKRIT, Iraq - Guerrilla fighters attacked a U.S. convoy with a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms in Tikrit on Wednesday, killing an Iraqi civilian working as a translator for the occupation force and wounding two soldiers, Maj. Bryan Luke, of the 4th Infantry Division said.

The interpreter was the second civilian working with U.S. soldiers to be killed this month in the city, hometown of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

Luke said the victims were traveling in a three vehicle convoy in the Tikrit market district. He said U.S. forces were conducting a raid in search of the attackers and were acting on tips given by Tikrit citizens.

The last attack in the city to kill a civilian was a roadside bombing of a convoy carrying a man who worked for Kellogg Brown & Root. The company has been doing work at the Baiji refinery and pipeline terminus about 30 miles north of Tikrit, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Baghdad.

Can't remember the name of the town in Iraq, but they were saying that a list of 25 names was out with the names of Iraqis there working the Americans.
