The suicide bombing was the first against U.S. and British forces since the invasion of Iraq began. There have been warnings of suicide attacks in Iraq.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- AP
Iraq's vice president on Saturday threatened more suicide bombings against coalition troops, saying a bomber who killed four U.S. soldiers outside the Iraqi city of Najaf was a noncommissioned army officer.

At a news conference, Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan identified the bomber as Ali Jaafar al-Noamani, a father of several children. A detailed statement on the bombing would be issued later, he said.

"This is just the beginning. You'll hear more pleasant news later," Ramadan said.

Asked whether suicide bombings will now become a policy of the Iraqi military, Ramadan said: "It will be routine military policy. We will use any means to kill our enemy in our land and we will follow the enemy into its land."
