Roadside bomb hits US convoy, wounding two soldiers

A roadside bomb struck a US military convoy this morning in eastern Baghdad, wounding two soldiers.

The blast caused a Humvee to slide off the road and it flipped oer into a canal, said Sgt. 1st Class David Abrams, a spokesman for Task Force Baghdad.

The wounded soldiers were evacuated for treatment, he said.

The attack occurred at about 7.30am (4.30am Irish time) in the Sadr City neighbourhood.
