Four US marines have been seriously wounded in an apparent suicide bomb attack on a military checkpoint in Baghdad. The BBC's Paul Wood in Baghdad said that he heard a series of loud explosions not far from the Hotel Palestine in central Baghdad, where the majority of the foreign press in the city is based. US marines who said they witnessed the incident told our correspondent that an Iraqi man had approached the checkpoint and detonated a number of grenades. Smoke can now be seen rising from the scene of the incident.
