At least four U.S. soldiers were injured in two separate bomb attacks in Iraq, a US military spokesman said. Sergeant Mark Ingham said an attack with an "improvised explosive device" took place about 11:00 am in the town of Iskandariya, some 45 kilometers south of Baghdad. The attack occurred on a stretch of road linking Baghdad with Karbala. No other details were available. The two wounded servicemen were taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Meanwhile, Ingham said another two soldiers were wounded at Taji, around 10 kilometers north of Baghdad, by an IED explosion at 9:45 am and were evacuated to the 28th Combat Support Hospital for treatment. **PHOTO CAPTION*** U.S. soldier Sunday, Sept. 28, 2003 during a show for U.S. forces based in Tikrit, Iraq.
