BAGHDAD -- A roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers in Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Thursday, and the U.S. commander in Iraq came under attack by insurgents in Fallujah.



Gen. John Abizaid, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East, escaped the brazen attack following a gun battle with insurgents.

Just moments after a convoy carrying Abizaid and his party pulled inside the cinderblock walls at the headquarters of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps in this city west of Baghdad, an explosion rang out. Seconds later, two more explosions were heard near the rear of the compound, and U.S. soldiers responded with a barrage of rifle and machine gun fire.
