Iraqi resistance fighters Monday attacked an American patrol in Baghdad with explosives as soldiers were about to drive into a tunnel. Two soldiers were wounded, the military said, according to the AP.
The attack damaged two Humvees, one of which turned over and caught fire, according to a military spokesman.
Sunday afternoon the new military spokesman, Lt. Col. George Krivo, said the U.S. military had completed a 24-hour period in which no American soldiers had been killed or injured.
Before dawn Monday, more than 100 U.S. soldiers stormed houses in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, searching for the ousted leader loyalists accused of financing or coordinating attacks on American forces. Four men were arrested, the military said. (Albawaba.com)
