AN Albanian coalition soldier has been killed and 11 Iraqis wounded in a grenade attack in the northern city of Mosul, the US army said today.

"On September 15 a group of Albanian soldiers were attacked at 4pm (10pm AEST) in front of the city hall in Mosul when a grenade was thrown at them," said a spokeswoman.

The Albanian later died of his injuries, added Lieutenant Colonel George Krivo. Iraqi security forces later deactivated a crude bomb they found at the site, the army said.

Albania, which has less than 100 troops in Iraq, is one of more than 30 countries that have sent troops to Iraq to help stabilise the country.
