  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.
