IRAQ: Guerrillas mounted two grenade attacks on US convoys in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul yesterday, killing three Iraqis and wounding at least nine people including two US soldiers.
Hospital officials after the first grenade attack said the blast killed a boy and wounded at least seven Iraqis. The US military said one soldier was wounded.
Meanwhile, in a raid in the volatile town of Falluja, west of Baghdad, US troops captured two former generals in Saddam Hussein's army, the American military said. It said the two were seized in a raid on Tuesday that also netted a large weapons cache. "The two generals were suspected of being key financiers and organisers of anti-coalition fighters operating in and around the city of Falluja," the US Army said in a statement.
