Bomb Kills GI, Wounds Another in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A homemade bomb exploded near a U.S. military
vehicle, killing one U.S. soldier and wounding another along a supply
route northeast of Baghdad, the U.S. Central Command said Wednesday.
The attack occurred at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, the Central Command said
on a statement posted on its Web site.
The soldiers were from the U.S. Army's 3rd Corp Support Command, it
said.
The wounded soldier was evacuated to a field hospital.
The statement gave no further details and said the soldiers names were
being withheld pending notification of their families.
It was the first death of a U.S. soldier reported in several days.
Also Tuesday, a car bomb in the northern city of Irbil, killed an
Iraqi and wounded six Americans and 41 Iraqis, the military said.
The six Americans were Department of Defense personnel, but the
military did not say if they were soldiers or civilians.
