A bomb exploded by a US military column in the village of al-Bu Faraj north of Ramadi and west of Baghdad, destroying one Zil troop transport and reportedly killing nine US soldiers and one Lebanese translator who held American citizenship and was collaborating with the occupation troops.

The correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam in Ramadi reported witnesses who were nearby at the time the bomb went off and were wounded by pieces of flying shrapnel as saying that the Resistance planted the high-explosive bomb under a large pile of cow dung that is used as fertilizer for farm fields which was sitting by the side of the road, and which the American soldiers paid no attention to.

The bomb went off by a Zil vehicle that was carrying 11 US troops on their way to the village to carry out routine raids and searches of houses – something they usually do every Wednesday. The explosion reportedly killed nine of the Americans in the vehicle and wounded the other two.

Two US helicopters landed to evacuate the bodies. In a report posted at 10:45am Mecca time Wednesday morning, the Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent reported that the burned-out wrecked hulk of the vehicle was still lying in the road. US forces completely encircled the area at the time of writing. They launched a wave of raids and arrests, taking four men and one seven-year-old child into custody. The boy’s father was martyred in recent fighting in Hit, and his mother’s pleading with the Americans did not prevent their arresting him and taking him off to prison with the men.
