US troops come under heavy attack but no casualties
BAGHDAD (AFP)-- US forces in Iraq were the target of several mortar and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks in the last 24 hours. Troops came under RPG attack in Tikrit, the hometown of deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein 175 km north of Baghdad, but no injuries were reported. There were three separate mortar attacks in Ramadi, 100 km west of Baghdad. No casualties were reported in these attacks either. A logistics base near Balad, some 75 km north of the capital, was hit by mortar fire, leaving a vehicle badly damaged. Meanwhile, a US soldier died in a non-combat incident in Balad.
