Assailants Fire Grenades at U.S. Troops
June 16, 2003
Assailants fired rocket-propelled grenades against a civilian bus and a U.S. military convoy, wounding at least four Americans, two of them seriously, a U.S. military spokesman said Monday.
In the first of two attacks, “an enemy individual fired a rocket-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 15 miles north of Baghdad, a U.S. military statement said.
