BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops struggled with yet more bomb attacks in Baghdad Wednesday, hours after President Bush appealed for help to rebuild Iraq.
A roadside bomb apparently aimed at U.S. troops tore through two commuter buses in the capital, killing an Iraqi and wounding about 20.
In the northern city of Mosul, a blast ripped through a cinema, causing several casualties, local people said. Shopkeepers said they saw about 20 people carried out of the building, some of them with very serious wounds.
Three Iraqi police officers were recovering in hospital from another incident overnight in which they said a U.S. soldier was also wounded, while elsewhere in the city troops sealed off a road tunnel to deal with explosives found there.
