In a separate incident, a US soldier was killed in Baghdad - the first US fatality since the capture of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. The soldier died when the convoy in which he was travelling was ambushed in the Al-Karradah district of the city. The latest death brings to 199 the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq since US President Bush called an end to major combat in Iraq on 1 May.
