Roadside bombs exploded near three U.S. convoys in and around Baghdad on Wednesday, wounding two soldiers, an official said. The attacks came one day after the death toll for U.S. forces in the Iraq war rose to more than 1,900 since the invasion. In the southern city of Basra, two Iraqi citizens who were wounded in clashes between British forces and Iraqi police died in a hospital Wednesday, raising the civilian death toll to five, police said. The fighting occurred Monday when British forces stormed a Basra jail to free two British soldiers who had been arrested by Basra police, according to a report of The Associated Press.
