BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two journalists with Time magazine were wounded, one seriously, when a hand grenade was thrown at U.S. forces they were accompanying in Baghdad, a U.S. military official said on Thursday.
The official said the incident took place late on Wednesday as the journalists accompanied troops on a U.S. patrol in the Iraqi capital, where U.S. forces are struggling to restore security that collapsed after they invaded Iraq in March.

He declined to name the journalists.

"There were two journalists from Time magazine ...t hey were participating in a patrol in the First A.D. (Armored Division) area in Baghdad with U.S. soldiers," the official told reporters.

"An individual threw a hand grenade into the Humvee. It occurred last night. ... One of the journalists was slightly wounded, the other more severely." (snip/...)
