Coalition troops face attacks as Iraq violence persists
At least 10 coalition soldiers were hurt in separate incidents across Iraq. In Habaniyah near Baghdad a truck bomb killed its driver and wounded three Americans when the vehicle exploded after a crash on a bridge. In Amarah seven British soldiers were wounded in a three hour firefight with unknown attackers, and three Iraqis were killed. Shiite leaders and Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani clashed over an interim constitution, rejecting two clauses to preserve Kurdish autonomy and avoid a single presidency, delaying signing as negotiations resume.
