A bomb, apparently aimed at the US military, exploded near a commuter bus in Baghdad today, killing one Iraqi and injuring 22, Iraqi police said.
"We have one dead, 22 injured, all Iraqis. It was a bomb planted on a roadway," an Iraqi police lieutenant told Reuters at the scene.
A spokesman for the US Army's 1st Armored Division said a roadside bomb went off as a military convoy drove by and a nearby commuter bus was hit. There were no US casualties.
The US military has faced almost daily attacks since May 1st, when US President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in the war to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Washington has blamed Saddam loyalists and al Qaeda militants.
