BAGHDAD, Iraq - Seven Iraqi prisoners being transported for release were wounded Saturday when a roadside bomb blasted their U.S. military convoy west of Baghdad, the U.S. Marines said.

Soldiers from the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division pursued the attackers, killing one and capturing another, the Marines said. The 1st Infantry soldiers are serving alongside the 1st Marine Division.

The convoy was traveling between the western Iraqi towns of Ramadi and Habbaniyah when the blast occurred. The wounded prisoners were treated at a military hospital for shrapnel wounds, the Marines said

My son Ryan is a medic and he just called and said that he treated these guys. He also said it was very bloody and that seven on them died. There were 18 Iraqi's on the bus.
