A suicide bomber has blown up his vehicle beside US soldiers keeping order at a mass protest in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
Two US soldiers and five Iraqi civilians were wounded in the blast, police say.
Torhan Abdul Rahman, Kirkuk's police chief, said three of the wounded Iraqis were children.
He said parts of the suicide bomber's body had been found in the destroyed car.
The bomb was detonated in Kirkuk, 250 km north of Baghdad, as U. soldiers kept watch on a rally by supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr, a radical Muslim Shiite cleric.
US helicopters circled the skies as demonstrators marched to the Kirkuk governorate headquarters, escorted by Iraqi police.
At least 19 people died in clashes between Sadr followers and security forces in the town of Kufa to the south of Baghdad on Sunday.

Why was Gringol's thread pulled? This is a separate incident from the 7 U.S. soldiers that were just reported killed in Baghdad.
