U.S. soldier and wounded at least 11 people outside a U.S.
base in the northern Iraqi town of Baquba.
A suspected car bomb killed four Iraqis and an
American soldier in the northern Iraqi town of Baquba on
Tuesday (June 8), police and a U.S. military spokeswoman
said.
The explosion wounded three U.S. troops, the
spokeswoman said.
Police officer Ali Hussein said 11 Iraqis were wounded.
He said the attack may have been a suicide car bombing.
A wounded Iraqi, who was standing in line to go work at
the U.S. base, said he saw a man in a traditional flowing
white robe drive towards the compound at high speed just
before the blast.
Insurgents have carried out several attacks on the U.S.
military and the American-backed Iraqi police and security
forces in and around Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of
Baghdad. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
