    Clashes erupted in Mosul on Tuesday (January 18)
    between U.S. forces and Iraqi insurgents.

    Witnesses said the trouble began when gunmen fired on a
    U.S. convoy near a polling station.

    There was no immediate word of casualties.

    Violence has surged in the run-up to Iraq's election on
    January 30 and Mosul, 390 km (225 miles) from Baghdad, has
    been a trouble spot in recent weeks.

    Election centres have come under repeated attack.
