Death by own action bomber hits US convoy in Baghdad
In Baghdad a car bomb detonated beside a U.S. convoy on the airport road killing and wounding several amid ongoing violence. In Beiji a second car bomb near a U.S. patrol killed four Iraqi civilians and injured 19, including two American soldiers. A soldier died elsewhere from injuries after a roadside explosion, raising this month’s U.S. fatalities to 134. Prime Minister Allawi prepared to travel to Jordan to urge Iraqi expatriates to vote in the January 30 election. The attack on the airport road and insurgent actions underscore the danger of a route used by multinational forces. The British Embassy said staff would no longer travel on that road.
