Attackers fire RPG's at U.S. military convoy and civilian bus
2003-06-16
SPA — Assailants fired rocket-propelled grenades against a civilian bus and a U.S. military convoy, wounding at least four Americans, two of them seriously. In the first of two attacks, "an enemy individual fired arocket-propelled grenade at 4th Infantry Division soldiers during an attempted ambush (Sunday), hitting a civilian bus that was passing a military convoy near the town of al-Mushahidah," about 25 kilometers north of Baghdad. At least two Americans were seriously wounded in the attack, said Capt. John Morgan, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad. Soldiers returned fire "to protect the convoy and the civilian bus," said a statement from U.S. Central Command, adding that "the number of casualties on the civilian bus are unknown at this time."
