Seven U.S. Soldiers Wounded in Iraq Grenade Attack
Thu May 1, 2003 04:17 AM ET
FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - Seven U.S. soldiers were wounded in a grenade attack at their base in the Iraqi city of Falluja, where American troops killed at least 15 people during protests this week, the U.S. military said on Thursday.
"The attack was an expression of the anger of a few people in the city after what happened," Captain Alan Vaught said in reference to the U.S. shootings at earlier anti-American demonstrations.
The city's mayor, whose compound is next door to the U.S. base, confirmed there was an attack late on Wednesday but did not know the identities of the assailants.
The soldiers, whose injuries were not life threatening, were evacuated from the compound in the city which is about 30 miles west of Baghdad.
Vaught said there was an exchange of gunfire between Iraqis and the U.S. troops after the attack but there were no additional injuries.
Tension has been running high in the conservative Sunni Muslim town over the presence of U.S. troops.
On Monday U.S. soldiers fired on an angry crowd protesting at continued U.S. occupation of Falluja, killing 13 Iraqis. Two days later, two Iraqis were killed when U.S. soldiers opened fire in a similar incident.
The U.S. military said its troops were shot at first in both incidents but Iraqi witnesses said the shootings were unprovoked.
Doctor Talib al-Janabi, head of a private hospital in Falluja, said townspeople objected to the way Americans were patrolling, "wandering inside and in between houses and in front of schools like cowboys."
He said: "They said they are coming here to liberate us from the regime of Saddam Hussein. But it should not be in such a way."
