U.S. troops attacked in Baghdad, casualties BAGHDAD, June 5 (Reuters) A U.S. military patrol was attacked in eastern Baghdad on Saturday and a Reuters Television cameraman saw two casualties, one apparently seriously wounded. Witnesses heard an explosion. But there was no sign of serious damage to U.S. vehicles. A helicopter airlifted casualties from the scene. U.S. military spokesmen had no immediate comment. The incident occurred in mid-morning very close to the spot where five soldiers were killed and four wounded on Friday when their vehicles were struck by what local residents said was rocket-propelled grenade fire. The attacks took place close to the sprawling, poor district of Sadr City, a stronghold of support for rebel cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. His forces struck a truce with U.S. forces in the holy city of Najaf, south of Baghdad, on Friday. |
