US forces come under attack in Iraq

A US military camp and a patrol vehicle have come under attack in two central Iraqi provinces of Al-Qadisiyah and Babil, the military says.

Nader Soliman, a media advisor to the US army, told Voices of Iraq news agency that a roadside bomb went off as a US patrol vehicle was passing on the Diwaniya-Shoumli road in Al-Qadisiyah Province.

He also said that unknown gunmen attacked a US military camp in Hillah, the capital of Babil Province, destroying some of the buildings, earlier on Sunday.

Soliman, however, did not say whether there were any casualties.
