"A soldier attached to Task Force Band of Brothers was killed by an
improvised explosive device explosion late Nov. 6 while on patrol near
Dawr," the military said in a statement.
Two other soldiers and a translator were wounded in the attack, the
statement said.
The name of the killed soldier was being withheld pending notification
of next of kin, it added.
