MOSUL, Iraq (AP) A car bomb exploded Sunday near a U.S. patrol in the northern Iraq city of Mosul, the military said. No casualties were reported.

The car blew up when attackers fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a U.S. patrol in eastern Mosul as the soldiers checked reports the vehicle was rigged with explosives, said Capt. Angela Bowman of Task Force Olympia.

No Americans were injured and no civilian casualties were immediately reported, Bowman said. Witnesses said U.S. soldiers sealed off the blast site.
