The attack took place at about 11:00 a.m. (0700 GMT), prompting the US troops to seal off the area situated in northern Tikrit,some 170 km north of Baghdad, he said.

It was not clear whether there was any casualties among the US soldiers, he added.

Elsewhere, another bomb-laden car, parking at the side of a road near Balad railway station, detonated at about 12:00 a.m. (0800GMT) as a US military convoy passed by," Hassan continued
