3 Iraqis wounded in bomb attacks targeting U.S. patrols

By Xinhua

Baghdad : Three Iraqis were wounded in two attacks targeting the U.S. patrols in Baghdad on Monday, a well-informed police source said.

“A roadside bomb detonated near a U.S. patrol in Baghdad’s eastern neighborhood of Baladiyat, wounding three bystanders,” the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The attack, which apparently missed the U.S. military vehicles, caused damages in several nearby shops, buildings and civilian cars, the source said.

Another roadside bomb struck a U.S. patrol in the al-Nusour Square in western Baghdad, the source said.

The source could not tell whether the patrols sustained any casualty in both attacks as the U.S. troops immediately sealed off the scenes, he added.

The U.S. military did not confirm the attacks yet.
