Resistance fighters detonated three roadside bombs Friday in the Iraqi capital, killing at least one civilian and wounding eight, officials said. One bomb went off near an American convoy in the western Mansour district, witnesses said, according to The AP. One damaged Humvee could be scene in the area, which was sealed off by U.S. forces.
At least five civilians were wounded in the incident, said Ihssan Abdul Razaq, an official at the Yarmouk Hospital.
Another explosive device was activated in an eastern neighborhood where U.S. forces were also on patrol, killing one civilian and wounding three others, a police official said on condition of anonymity.
A third blast didn't appear to cause any injuries, said Cap. Talib Thamir.
Elsewhere, a U.S. Marine died when a mortar round landed inside a military base in western Iraq, the military said Friday. The Marine died after a Wednesday attack at Camp Hit, in Anbar province, the military said.
