Post; Italians troops come under attack in Iraq, one wounded


ROME, Jan 30, 2006 (AFP) - An Italian soldier was slightly wounded in southern Iraq early Monday when a roadside bomb exploded near his patrol, a spokesman for the Italian contingent said.
The soldier was travelling in the last of the three patrol vehicles, which was damaged in the attack.
The incident happened outside Nasiriyah, the site of the Italian military base in Iraq.
Italy has the fourth-largest contingent in the US-led coalition, after the United States, Britain and South Korea.
Defence Minister Antonio Martino said this month that the force, currently numbering some 2,600, would be withdrawn by the end of the year.
