US soldier killed, six others wounded in car bomb in western Baghdad
BAGHDAD, March 15 (AFP) -
A car bomb in western Baghdad on Tuesday killed a US soldier and
wounded six others, a US military spokesman told AFP.
"A Taskforce Baghdad soldier died March 15th at around 10 am (0700
GMT) when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated, while
the soldier was on patrol. Six other soldiers were wounded," the
spokesman said.
The car bomb attack was one of two near a gas station in Hai Amel in
western Baghdad that also claimed the lives of one Iraqi and wounded
six others, witnesses said.
The first car bomb wounded US soldiers who had been called to the
scene to inspect a suspicious blue BMW that had been parked close by,
the gas station's owner said.
A second car bomb exploded when Iraqi and US security arrived to
evacuate the casualties, the owner added.
It was unclear which blast caused the Iraqi dead and wounded.
