BAGHDAD, July 21: A US soldier and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in an attack in Baghdad on Monday.

A US military spokesman said the soldier, from the 1st Armoured Division, and the interpreter were killed when an improvised bomb went off and they were shot at on a highway.

A local journalist watched as a US military vehicle blew up in broad daylight in the capital. A Reuters photographer later saw two burnt out Humvee vehicles there, 100 metres apart, apparently the aftermath of the fatal incident.—Reuter
