Mosul, Iraq - Insurgents attacked U.S. military convoys here Wednesday, killing three Iraqi civilians and wounding five Americans, the U.S. military and hospital officials said. The attacks occurred in a city long considered relatively safe for U.S. troops, compared to Baghdad and the cities and towns in the volatile "Sunni Triangle" to the south. Elsewhere, paratroopers captured two former Iraqi army generals in an early-morning raid Wednesday in Fallujah, the military said. The generals were not identified, but the military said they were suspected of being "key financiers" and organizers of anti-coalition fighters near the volatile city 65 kilometres west of Baghdad.
