Reuters: New Baghdad Attack as U.S. Troops Hunt Saddam

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A grenade attack in downtown Baghdad Monday wounded and may have killed two U.S. soldiers in broad daylight, the latest in an increasingly bold and deadly guerrilla campaign.

Fueling a nervous cycle of fear and resentment between the American occupiers and ordinary Iraqis, people in Baghdad accused jumpy U.S. troops of killing five passers-by Sunday in what looked like a botched raid in the hunt for Saddam Hussein. U.S. spokesmen refused all comment on the incident.

The U.S. commander in Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, warned it was becoming a "terrorist magnet" for foreigners and said attacks were getting more sophisticated.
