BAGHDAD, Iraq - A coordinated roadside bomb attack on a U.S. convoy in northern Iraq killed a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi civilian Sunday, the military said.


The attack, in which one soldier also was wounded, began Sunday in Beiji about 90 miles south of the northern city of Mosul when a bomb exploded at the side of the road, the military said in a statement. A vehicle then raced toward the patrol and fired on the soldiers, who returned fire, killing the driver, the military said.


The attack set an oil tanker ablaze, and thick black smoke filled the air, witnesses said.


The Iraqi civilian killed by the bomb had been traveling behind the convoy, the military said.

Those of us without friends or family in harm's way

It is good to be reminded.

4. Who's telling the truth?

"One of the lions of the martyrs' brigade, entered the building and destroyed it completely, plus six Hummers, including those who were inside them, thank God," the group said in a statement posted on a web site.

The group said that as troops tried to escape from the building, "the soldiers of God were waiting for them and rained those who came with mortar shells."

The military said five soldiers and one Iraqi guardsman were killed in the attack.
