Two U.S. Soldiers Injured in Attack in Fallujah
LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We go back to Iraq, where two U.S. soldiers have been injured in an attack in the town of Fallujah. Our Ben Wedeman is in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, and he joins us now with a live report and the very latest on the details there. Hello -- Ben.</s>BEN WEDEMAN, CNN CAIRO BUREAU CHIEF: Yes, hello, Leon. Well, it was another night of gunfire and explosions in the hot spot of Fallujah. That is a town about 35 miles to the west of Baghdad, the scene of frequent unrest as well. Now, there, an American patrol came under fire from unknown assailants using rocket- propelled grenades. Now, according to one Iraqi eyewitness, he saw an American Humvee hit by these grenades and saw several American casualties. However, a U.S. military spokesman said that there were two injuries sustained there, one slight -- one soldier was slightly wounded and another received bruises. It's unclear exactly what the circumstances were. Now, the attack took place in the general vicinity of a power plant, which serves the city. Apparently, that power plant also hit by those grenades causing a massive fire there and also electricity to be cut to a major part of that city of about 75,000 inhabitants. Now, this incident underscores the increasing frequency of sabotage attacks against the infrastructure in areas controlled by the coalition, underscoring, once more, the kind of overwhelming problems that the coalition authority is facing here in Iraq -- Leon.</s>HARRIS: Ben Wedeman reporting live from Baghdad. The situation there still not quite yet 100 percent settled. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com.
