An US soldier has been killed in a roadside bomb attack in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, a spokesman for the 1st Armored Division said this morning.
The spokesman said a roadside bomb struck a passing Humvee in Baghdad yesterday, wounding two soldiers. One of them later died, he said.
The latest death brings to at least 156 the number of US soldiers killed in action in Iraq since President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1st.
