Two more US soldiers injured in Iraq

Two American soldiers have been injured and an Iraqi civilian killed in an attack on a US military convoy.

The attack was latest in a series which had taken the toll of American dead since the war began to more than 200.

The attack, which involved an improvised bomb, happened as the convoy made its way on a highway in south west Baghdad that heads out to the airport, said Corporal Todd Pruden, a military spokesman.

It was not clear if the explosive device was thrown at the convoy, or placed in the road, he said, adding that two vehicles were damaged.

The injured were evacuated to a military hospital and no arrests were made.
