US convoy hit by roadside bomb in southern Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Sept 18 (AFP) - A US convoy was hit by a roadside bomb on the main highway to the airport in southern Baghdad and another convoy targeted by a car bomb moments later, an AFP correspondent and witnesses said.

The double attack took place shortly after 4:00 pm (1200 GMT) and the AFP reporter saw two vehicles on fire, apparently an explosives-laden civilian car and a US Humvee all-terrain vehicle which it rammed.

The ramming took place on a fly-over. Black smoke was billowing in the sky and US troops sealed off the area.

There was no immediate comment from the US military.
