U.S. Occupation Soldier Killed in Bomb Attack in Iraq
An American occupation soldier was killed and two others injured in a bomb explosion near their patrol in Baghdad, the U.S. military said Sunday.
The incident took place on Friday when an improvised explosive device struck the soldiers' patrol in the capital at approximately 9:30 p.m. (1830 GMT), a military statement said.
The name of the deceased soldier is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, the statement said.
More than 4,135 U.S. occupation soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, according to media count based on Pentagon figures.
U.S. has lost some 40,000, not 4,000 KIA. With 320,000 wounded and the 300,000 mentally disturbed and unknown number of other casualties (depleted uranium DU), the total losses approach 50%.
Hidden behind the news blackout the US is taking huge losses as exemplified below by relinks to the US casualties (public) added with the combat announcements of just two resistance groups, IAI and '20s, occasionally others
