A U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded by a roadside bomb blast south
of Baghdad, while three Iraqi police died in a similar attack, officials said
Thursday.
The U.S. soldiers belonged to the Multi-National Division Baghdad and were
targeted Wednesday, the military said in a statement. The name of the soldier
who was killed is being withheld pending next-of-kin notification.
At least 2,237 U.S. military personnel have died since the Iraq war began in
March 2003, according to an Associated Press count
North of Baghdad, three Iraqi soldiers were killed and four wounded by
another roadside bomb on Wednesday afternoon, police Lt. Amir al-Ahbabi said.
The attack happened in the Ishaki area on the Baghdad-Mosul highway, about 55
miles north of the Iraqi capital.
