IRAQI RESITANCE

Independent: More attacks on US troops in Iraq despite reward
US offers $25m for Saddam, dead or alive

Another American soldier was killed in an attack on a convoy in Baghdad and at least 19 were injured in a mortar attack as attacks against US forces in Iraq showed no sign of abating.

The latest attacks followed the announcement by the United States yesterday of a $25m (£15m) reward for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein or positive confirmation of his death in an effort to reduce the number of attacks on American and British troops.

A reward of $15m was announced for similar information about the former dictator's two sons, Uday and Qusay.
