BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A roadside bomb attack on a convoy in the troubled city of Fallujah killed one U.S. soldier and injured three others, the military said.

It gave no further details of the attack, which brings to 155 the number of soldiers to die in Iraq since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1. During the heavy fighting before that date, 138 soldiers died.

On Saturday night in Mosul, 240 miles north of Baghdad, three soldiers were wounded in an ambush by guerrillas who bombarded them with hand grenades from the top of a building. One soldier had his leg amputated after the attack, two others were less seriously wounded in the legs by shrapnel.
