ABU GHRAIB, Iraq (AFP) - A convoy of US army oil tankers came under rocket-propelled grenade attack in Baghdad's western suburb of Abu Ghraib, a witness told AFP.

"Several tankers are on fire," Ammar Salim told an AFP correspondent who could not approach the scene because US troops had immediately cordoned off the area. Smoke rose above the area.

A US army spokesman could not confirm the attack.

Salim said Saturday that the insurgents were apparently trying to "disrupt supply lines for the US army".
