BAGHDAD, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- A US soldier has been killed in a roadside
bomb blast north of Baghdad, the US military said on Tuesday.
"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.
Another four US soldiers were killed on Monday when a suicide car bomber
attacked their checkpoint south of Baghdad, said the military in an earlier
statement.
The latest death toll brought to over 2,050 the number of US military
personnel who have died in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003,
according to media tally.
