Gunmen today killed the driver of a Turkish-registered truck in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and then set it ablaze.
Witnesses said assailants with assault rifles shot the driver and then set fire to the truck with his body inside.
It was not immediately clear if the driver was a Turkish national, but the truck, which was carrying bottled mineral water, had Turkish plates and markings.
The attack occurred in Yarmuk Square in western Mosul.
In a separate incident, a car bomb blew up near a US military convoy in a southern district, killing an Iraqi civilian and slightly wounding three others, hospital officials said.
The US military said two soldiers had also been slightly wounded in the blast, but had returned to duty. A Stryker armoured vehicle was damaged and two cars destroyed.
