BAGHDAD, Aug 4: Five US soldiers and an Iraqi translator were wounded in attacks here on Monday and a police station was torched as the US-led forces scoured the globe for nations willing to replace some of its combat-weary troops.

In a bold move, Iraqi guerillas wounded three US soldiers and an Iraqi translator in an anti-tank rocket and bomb attack near Baghdad police headquarters.

It was the second attack of the day after soldiers were again ambushed on the lethal route to Baghdad airport—AFP
