BAGHDAD (AFP) - A US soldier and at least one Iraqi were killed when a bomb struck a patrol in southern Baghdad, as US warplanes bombed the rebel-held city of Fallujah in a bid to crush a deadly insurgency. snip

Three US soldiers were wounded, with one later dying, while one and possibly two Iraqi civilians were also killed, the US military said.

An ordanance team was trying to establish whether the explosion was of a car bomb or a roadside bomb, it added.

Witness saw flames spewing from a US army vehicle after the attack at about 7:30 am (0430 GMT).
