BAGHDAD- Insurgents detonated a roadside bomb near an Iraqi army convoy on the outskirts of Baghdad on Saturday, killing nine soldiers and wounding 20 in one of a series of bomb attacks across the country, police said.
When the surviving Iraqi soldiers responded with gunfire, they killed a civilian driving a car, police Lt. Ahmed Abud said.
The attack occurred near the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, which was at the center of a scandal last year after photographs were publicized showing U.S. soldiers humiliating Iraqi inmates.
The bombing was one of at least three explosions in Baghdad.
