A U.S. soldier died in a vehicle accident in southern Iraq, the U.S. military announced Wednesday, bringing the American military death toll to 2,001. The soldier died near Camp Bucca, a U.S. detention center, on Tuesday, the same day the U.S. death toll in Iraq reached 2,000.

Some Iraqis sympathized with U.S. forces over the somber milestone. But others noted that many more Iraqis had died in the conflict and said they hope the U.S. "occupiers" will soon go home.

Meanwhile, insurgent attacks continued Wednesday. Four militants hiding behind a mosque shot and killed a government official as he drove to work Wednesday, and an Internet statement claimed Al-Qaida in Iraq has abducted two Moroccan embassy employees.

Suspected insurgents also gunned down two Iraqi policemen in the western city of Ramadi and two Iraqi soldiers in Tarmiyah, 30 miles north of the capital.

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday observed a moment of silence in honor of the fallen Americans.

"We owe them a deep debt of gratitude for their courage, for their valor, for their strength, for their commitment to our country," said Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist.

The milestone came amid growing doubts among the U.S. public about the Iraq conflict, launched in March 2003 to destroy Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction. None was ever found.

In Iraq, many people heard of the 2,000 figure on Arab satellite TV channels such as Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya.

Some Iraqis complained that the attention was misguided because far more Iraqis have died in the conflict than Americans. No one knows an exact number of Iraqi deaths, but there is some consensus — including from a U.S. military spokesman and outside experts — that an independent count of roughly 30,000 is a relatively credible tally of Iraqi civilian deaths.
