<snip>BAGHDAD, Iraq - A bomb blast wounded two U.S. soldiers Tuesday in the northern city of Mosul while U.S. aircraft and tanks blasted trees and abandoned buildings along a road north of Baghdad to deny insurgents cover for rocket attacks.

The U.S. military has reacted forcefully following an upsurge in guerrilla activity in central and northern Iraq (news - web sites). On Monday, six insurgents were killed in gunbattles and 99 suspects were reportedly detained in a series of sweeps.

In a blow to Iraq's U.S.-led administration, officials on Monday announced the resignation of an Italian coalition official, who accused the occupation authorities of incompetence.

"The authority simply doesn't work," the Italian daily Corriere della Sera quoted Marco Calamai, a special counselor of the Coalition Provisional Authority, as saying. "It's neither fish nor fowl. Reconstruction projects that were promised and financed have had practically no results."

There was no immediate comment from the staff of authority chief, L. Paul Bremer.
