British soldier wounded in Basra bomb blast
A British soldier was wounded when a roadside bomb hit his patrol in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
The incident happened in the centre of the city, said military spokeswoman Capt. Katie Brown.
No other details of the incident were available.
Elsewhere, authorities slapped an indefinite curfew on a town south of Baghdad after two people were killed and two others wounded today in clashes that followed an attack by suspected Shiite militants on a Sunni mosque.
Iraqi and US forces sealed off the area where the mosque is located, but clashes erupted elsewhere in Iskandariyah, a mixed Shiite-Sunni town 30 miles south of Baghdad.
The mosque was slightly damaged by two rocket propelled grenades.
The Iskandariyah clashes came one day after suspected Shiite militants attacked a Sunni mosque in a nearby town, Haswa. The attack was in apparent retaliation for a suicide truck bombing against a Shiite mosque that killed 11 people on Saturday, also in Haswa.
