Monday, February 9, 2004 (Mosul):

A US military convoy came under attack in central Mosul on Sunday.

Eyewitnesses claimed three US soldiers were injured when an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) detonated. But there was no confirmation of casualties from the US military.

A damaged, bloodstained humvee was seen at the site and US helicopters flew overhead.

The attack took place several days after military control of Mosul and the surrounding area was transferred from the 101st Airborne Division to the Stryker Brigade.

Troops held a ceremony earlier this week to mark the handover. The Stryker Brigade Combat Team is made up of soldiers from 1st Corps' 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. (AP)

Update from (AP)
In the latest violence, a U.S. convoy was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in the northern city of Mosul on Sunday, wounding one soldier, witnesses said. A U.S. military official in Mosul, however, said the car was damaged in a road accident and would not comment on injuries.
