Gunmen opened fire from a highway overpass west of Baghdad, disabling two of the vehicles and killing an unknown number of people, U.S. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy operations chief, told reporters. A third vehicle -- hit by small arms fire -- made it safely to a coalition base, Kimmitt said. "I got those reports first hand from some shaken-up contractors," Kimmitt said. He did not say who the contractors were working for or give their nationalities.
