No Vietnam: Rumsfeld denial while toll rising

Sydney Morning Herald. July 2 2003

Baghdad: Four US soldiers were reported killed and two wounded in an attack in Baghdad yesterday.

In the town of Falluja, meanwhile, an explosion on Monday night destroyed a mosque, killing at least six Iraqis, including Muslim clerics, and injuring four, witnesses and officials said yesterday. Iraqi civilians said the explosion was caused by a missile or bomb strike, but American soldiers at the scene said it was probably caused when explosives hidden at the site went off.

In the latest attack, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at a US military vehicle near al-Mustansiriyah University in central Baghdad. Witnesses said four US troops were killed and two wounded. The casualties were immediately removed from the scene. An Iraqi civilian was also wounded.

A US official said there was no word on American casualties and "the incident has not been qualified as an attack yet". Earlier, a US soldier was slightly wounded when a convoy was fired on with a rocket-propelled grenade near Baghdad airport.
