Car Bomb at Iraq Base Kills One U.S. Soldier, Wounds 14

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide car bomb attack at a U.S. military base in Iraq on Thursday killed one U.S. soldier and wounded 14 as troops uncovered a weapons cache north of Baghdad with enough ammunition to launch a spate of strikes.
The main U.S. headquarters in central Baghdad also come under attack with several blasts rocking the compound around midnight (4 p.m. EST). A U.S. military spokesman said there were no casualties and only minor damage.
"Two projectiles impacted in the vicinity of the 'green zone'," the spokesman said, referring to the sprawling complex of palaces and parkland that has been turned into a fortress.
The new violence came as the United Nations joined European leaders in denouncing a U.S. move to bar key American allies who opposed the Iraq war from sharing in contracts to rebuild Iraq.
President Bush rejected the criticism, saying they would be reserved for countries that risked lives in Iraq, although a spokesman indicated there could be some flexibility.
Highlighting the complexities of getting the country going again, it came out that nearly half the first few hundred recruits to a new Iraqi army intended to take up the strain on U.S. troops have quit in anger at pay and conditions.
And U.S. military sources said a Pentagon audit had found evidence the oil services firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, Halliburton, might have overcharged for fuel in Iraq -- an accusation the firm said it would refute.
U.S. military officials said Thursday's fatal bomb was concealed in a furniture truck and detonated outside a base of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division near the flashpoint town of Ramadi, west of Baghdad. They said the vehicle was driven by a suicide bomber and that there were believed to have been two other Iraqis in the truck who also died in the explosion.
A suicide car bomb attack on a military base in Iraq's north on Tuesday wounded nearly 60 U.S. soldiers. A suicide bomber also blew himself up near a separate base on Tuesday.
Since the start of the war to oust Saddam Hussein, 311 U.S. soldiers have been killed in action, 196 of them in guerrilla attacks since major combat was declared over on May 1.
Attacks on troops, contractors and diplomats from countries backing the United States in Iraq have added to domestic public pressure in many nations to pull out of the mission.
RAIDS IN TIKRIT
U.S. troops earlier on Thursday seized three Iraqi men suspected of heading guerrilla cells in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit and said they had uncovered a large weapons cache.
In the garden of one of two houses raided in Tikrit, 110 miles north of Baghdad, soldiers dug up a hoard of rifles, grenades and explosives that they said were used by members of Saddam's Fedayeen militia to mount attacks.
In the town of Lutafiya, south of Baghdad, U.S. soldiers staged 18 raids on Wednesday, arresting 41 people in connection with the killing of seven Spanish intelligence officers in an attack on their convoy last month.
The row over Iraq's reconstruction contracts threatens a new transatlantic rift over the country. This week, Washington announced that bids for $18.6 billion worth of contracts would be limited to firms from countries that backed the war, freezing out companies from France, Germany, Russia and China.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said it was time to rebuild an international consensus to stabilize Iraq, and he joined European leaders in urging Washington to reverse its decision.
In an apparent bid to calm tempers, the White House said it was sending James Baker, a former secretary of state, to Europe next week to seek help relieving Iraq's $125 billion debt.
But Bush has refused to back down.
"It's very simple. Our people risked their lives. Friendly coalition folks risked their lives, and therefore the contracting is going to reflect that, and that's what the U.S. taxpayers expect," Bush said.
In violence elsewhere, two journalists with Time magazine were wounded, one seriously, when a hand grenade was thrown at U.S. forces they were accompanying on a patrol in Baghdad late on Wednesday, a U.S. military official said.
The magazine identified the two as James Nachtwey, one of the world's most respected news photographers, and senior correspondent Michael Weisskopf.
The official also said a U.S. Apache helicopter which came down south of the northern city of Mosul on Wednesday was not hit by ground fire. Its crew of two escaped without major injuries, but there has been some confusion over why the Apache was forced to make a controlled landing.
