This comes after a roadside bomb hit and badly damaged a U-S military vehicle in Baghdad this morning.
The vehicle was part of a convoy driving through the capital. Witnesses say soldiers in the convoy opened fire randomly after the blast, wounding several passersby.
Another attack at two oil facilities near Baghdad leaves two soldiers dead and five others injured.
The attackers used three small explosive-laden boats about 100 miles from Iraq's main port.
They exploded when a coalition craft tried to intercept them.

World economic leaders want to ensure that as the economy turns around, interest rates do not suddenly spike. They are also worried that rising oil prices and political instability in Iraq could slow the global recovery. The G-7 countries say they are prepared to help rebuild Iraq's economy. But what's not decided is whether all of Iraq's 120 billion dollar debt will be forgiven. Another country that's receiving a lot of attention at this year's meetings is China.
