MOSUL, Dec 7: Guerrillas blew apart a US Humvee with a roadside bomb in the northern Iraq city of Mosul on Sunday, killing one American soldier and wounding two in the latest deadly strike on occupying forces.

Sergeant Kelly Tyler of the 101st Airborne Division told Reuters that explosives were detonated as a US convoy drove past in Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city.

Police who rushed to the scene said the blast destroyed a Humvee in the three-vehicle convoy.
