The American Humvee had burnt out, the US troop transporter had been smashed by rockets and an Iraqi lorry - riddled by American bullets in the aftermath of the attack - still lay smouldering on the central reservation.

Americans attacked in Baghdad

18/09/2003 16:44  - (SA)  
 

Iraq - There was an attack on Thursday on American forces on the main road in the town of Khaldiyah. Two US tanks surrounded a smouldering transport truck and helicopters hovered above. Al-Arabiya television reported eight Americans were killed and one wounded.

A reporter at the scene could not get close enough to verify the casualty reports and was fired on by one of the tanks with three rounds from its 50-calibre machine gun.

It appeared the Americans were trying to protect themselves until reinforcements arrived.
