MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - Two foreigners, one of them British, were shot dead and a U.S. armored vehicle destroyed in a rash of attacks in the increasingly lawless Iraqi city of Mosul Sunday. [...]

In another attack, insurgents fired two rocket-propelled grenades at a U.S. Stryker military vehicle on patrol in a western district, setting it on fire, witnesses said.

More blasts shook the Stryker, as its fuel tanks and ammunition exploded, but a U.S. military spokesman said there were no casualties. Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Piek of Task Force Olympia said the commander and driver of the vehicle had jumped out. Other soldiers in the unit were patrolling on foot.
