U.S. Soldier, Interpreter Killed in Baghdad
Mon July 21, 2003 06:26 AM ET
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in
a gun and bomb attack in Baghdad on Monday, a U.S. military spokesman said.
"At 10:30 a.m. (2:30 a.m. EDT) a first Armored Division soldier was killed in
action and an Iraqi interpreter was also killed. It was a small arms and IED
(improvised explosive device) attack," the spokesman said, reading from a
statement.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a U.S. military vehicle blown up on a city street
around the same time, although the spokesman could not confirm that this was the
fatal incident.
Local journalist Rosie Garthwaite of the Baghdad Bulletin saw the U.S. vehicle
destroyed in a blast, leaving a mangled wreck pouring black smoke high into the
hot summer morning. Local people told her they had seen two people dead inside.
Four U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi U.N. driver were killed between Friday and
Sunday in attacks blamed by U.S. officials on die-hard loyalists of deposed
leader Saddam Hussein.
In all, 38 U.S. soldiers have now died at enemy hands since President Bush
declared an end to major combat operations on May 1. That has increased pressure
at home for signs of a reduction in the U.S. role in occupying Iraq.
Saddam is believed to be hiding somewhere in Iraq and issuing taped messages
urging his followers to attack the Americans and any Iraqis who work with them.
