BAGHDAD, Sept. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- A roadside bomb hit a commuter buses on
Wednesday in Baghdad, killing one Iraqi civilian and wounding more than 20
others, Iraqi police at the scene said.
The bomb, apparently targeted a US convoy driving by, badly damaged the
bus, Haider al-Atiya told Xinhua, adding that another commuter bus nearby was
also damaged.
Adel Saadi, another police officer, said the explosion was caused by a
remote-controlled bomb planted on a roadway.
A large number of US forces have rushed to the scene and cordoned off the
area. Several ambulances also arrived to rescue the wounded civilians.
The US troops in Iraq have been under constant attacks since May 1 when US
President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat operations. Enditem
