A suicide car bomber struck a U.S. patrol in southern Baghdad on Thursday, causing undetermined casualties, a well-informed police source said.

A suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a U.S. patrol near the al-Rashid whole sale vegetable market in Doura district," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

It was not clear whether the U.S. soldiers sustained any casualty as the U.S. troops cordoned off the scene preventing police from approaching the area, he said.

However, the source said that a police patrol saw a U.S. Humvee caught fire by the blast.

The U.S. military did not confirm the incident.
