It's now a wonderful life in Iraq alright: A soldier was killed Tuesday when roadside bombs blasted a U.S. convoy in Ramadi, 60 miles west of Baghdad. A military spokesman said his convoy was hit by three roadside bombs wired to exploded one after another. Two soldiers were wounded. Another soldier died in his sleep at a U.S. base in Ramadi, his body discovered Tuesday morning. In Mosul, a main city in northern Iraq, the military reported a soldier died when his Humvee collided with a taxi. Elsewhere, guerrillas wounded three American soldiers in northern Iraq on Monday. North of Baghdad, flames shot 200 feet into the air from a burst oil pipeline Tuesday, and U.S. forces fired warning shots to keep people from the scene. Two M-1 Abrams tanks and three soldiers crouched in firing positions ordered an Iraqi fire truck to stay back. "They were very hostile," said fire department Lt. Hasannein Mohammed. The blaze near Taji, a region of date groves, military compounds and chemical plants, was burning about three miles north of a big refinery. It sent a huge black cloud drifting over the capital for several hours. Military spokeswoman Nicole Thompson had no further details.
