Insurgents Attack Around Abu Ghraib Jail

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A suicide car bomb wrecked three vehicles in a U.S. convoy near Abu Ghraib prison Saturday, and insurgents fired seven mortar shells at the jail and used grenades to damage three armored vehicles in another American convoy in the area, Iraqi police said.

The U.S. military issued no immediate casualty reports in any of the incidents.

There were no other details on the damage inflicted around Abu Ghraib, a prison just west of Baghdad that was the scene of the torture and execution of countless political prisoners under Saddam Hussein and the abuse of detainees by American soldiers after the dictator's ouster.

In the northern city of Mosul, meanwhile, coalition forces said they arrested two alleged leaders of the al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist group.

The two - identified as Taha Ibrahim Yasin Becher, whose alias was Abu Fatima, and Hamed Saeed Ismael Mustafa, also known as Abu Shahed - allegedly headed al-Qaida's organization in Mosul, the country's third-largest city."
