Suicide bomber kills US agent in Iraq (AP) Updated: 2005-09-20 15:38
A suicide car bomber attacked a U.S. diplomatic convoy in the northern city
of Mosul, killing four Americans and wounding two others, a U.S. official said
Tuesday.
A U.S. Diplomatic Security agent and three private security guards died when
the suicide bomber rammed their SUV, the middle vehicle in a convoy of three,
the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to
speak on the subject.
He said the victims were attached to the U.S. Consulate in Mosul, Iraq's
third largest city, 225 miles north of Baghdad.
On Sept. 7, a roadside bomb killed four private American guards who worked as
security agents for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security in Basra. The attack was
claimed by al-Qaida in Iraq.
