- Story Text: Suspected suicide bomb near U.S. military convoy in
Baghdad's upscale Mansour neighbourhood.
A suspected suicide bomber detonated a vehicle near
a U.S. military convoy on Wednesday (September 22, 2004) in
Baghdad's upscale Mansour neighbourhood, witnesses said.
They said U.S. troops had moved into the area shortly
before the blast. Two U.S. Humvees were on fire. A thick
column of black smoke could be seen rising into the air and
the witnesses said they thought there were several
casualties.
A policeman at the scene said he believed it was a
suicide car bomb attack.
The U.S. military had no immediate comment.
Mansour, a district of western Baghdad, is where two
Americans and a Briton were seized last week.
The blast followed an earlier suicide car bomb attack
in Baghdad that killed at least 11 people.
