Bomb kills 2 U.S. soldiers; U.S. vows to speed training of Iraqi security forces.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Maureen Fan, Jeff Wilkinson and Drew Brown
BAGHDAD, Iraq _ Two U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in the northern city of Mosul on Saturday as the top U.S. administrator pledged to speed up training for Iraqi security forces after one of the bloodiest weeks for American troops and Iraqi civilians in Iraq's six-month-old guerrilla war.
Chief U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer III made the pledge at the end of a seven-day period that included a rocket barrage on a hotel within the coalition compound that killed a U.S. colonel and wounded 15 other people, a wave of suicide bombings in the capital that left 35 dead and 240 wounded and a series of other incidents killed at least 11 other American soldiers.
The upsurge in violence during the first week of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan was marked by fears of further bombings and other terrorist attacks, but Iraqis largely ignored calls by Saddam loyalists for a "Day of Resistance" and a general strike in Baghdad.
