U.S. contractor is killed in Iraq

[coyote]

THE CIVILIAN, an oil services contractor, was killed Tuesday when a remote-control bomb exploded under the truck he was driving north of Tikrit, the U.S. military said.
The American, whose name has been withheld pending notification of relatives, was in a five-vehicle convoy traveling from Baghdad. Insurgents have increasingly been using roadside bombs detonated by remote control to attack American forces.
And in Fallujah, a restive town west of Baghdad, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at a police station where U.S. soldiers had been stationed. An ambulance was seen taking two wounded soldiers from the scene.
