Four US soldiers wounded in shooting near Baghdad
BAGHDAD, April 13 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were wounded on Sunday when they were shot at south of Baghdad while clearing an Iraqi arms dump, senior officers told Reuters.
"They was an explosion and then they came under direct fire," one said, adding that the incident occured while soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division were clearing rockets and mortar rounds at Mahmudiya, 40 km (25 miles) south of central Baghdad.
"Someone fired at them from a building, either over or through a crowd," another officer said. "Because of the firing, the crowd dispersed and we had four soldiers hit."
There was no information on the condition of the wounded soldiers.
