U.S. Forces Sustain Fatality, Kill Iraqi Inside His Home

Meanwhile, American occupation forces had escaped two attacks near the central Iraqi town of Baqubah that left one Iraqi civilian dead and another wounded.
The casualties occurred in a bomb attack Sunday on an American convoy near the town, 60 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, according to police Lieutenant Haidar Abbas.

He said a makeshift explosive device went off near a car driven by local resident Hassan Ali Ahmad, who was following the American military convoy, adding the blast killed him outright and wounded a passenger in the vehicle.

Earlier, three rockets were fired at an American patrol in the town of Mafrak west of Baqubah but missed their targets, residents said.
