Mortar Attack In Iraq Wounds 35 U.S. Troops
Thirty-five U.S. soldiers were wounded Wednesday in a mortar attack west of Baghdad. An estimated six mortar rounds struck in or near Logistical Base Seitz, according to a U.S. military statement that said the wounded troops had been given first aid or been evacuated for medical treatment. No further details were available regarding the attack or the conditions of those receiving medical treatment. "Some have already returned to duty," a U.S. military spokesman said, but he was unable to provide any figures. The soldiers belonged to the 541st Maintenance Battalion of the 3rd Corps Support Command.
