BAGHDAD, Iraq — The U.S. military said Tuesday they had discovered a car bomb and secured the area before it detonated in the northern city of Mosul .
“We do have confirmation of one car bomb,” said Capt. Angela Bowman, with Task Force Olympia.

The car bomb was identified on the side of the road by U.S. patrols, she said.

“They secured the area and called in a (explosives) team to defuse the bomb. The bomb detonated before they could defuse it,” she said.

There were no reports of military casualties, she said.

Bowman said the military also received reports of a second car bomb, though she had no immediate confirmation on that bomb.

Mosul, located 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, has been hit by a string of car bombings in recent days.
