A car bomb hit a civilian convoy belonging to U.S.-led coalition forces on Monday on the main highway to Baghdad's airport, the Interior Ministry said Two sports utility vehicles were caught in the explosion as the convoy traveled through the western Amiriyah district, spokesman Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman said. Earlier, a police officer at the scene said he believed the vehicles were hit by rocket-propelled grenades rather than a car bomb. One vehicle was overturned by the blast while the other burst into flames. The number of casualties was not immediately known. Police and U.S. troops blocked off the site of the explosion.
