AS-SALIYAH, April 27: Four US soldiers were injured on Sunday in an ambush in Baghdad that apparently involved a single assailant, the US Central Command said from its war headquarters in Qatar.
“Initial reports indicated they were engaged with small-arms fire from an assailant who approached them while the vehicles were stopped in traffic,” Centcom said in a statement.
It said one of the four civil affairs soldiers was seriously wounded.
“At the time of the attack, the soldiers were on a public health-related mission,” Centcom said.—AFP
