Bomb kills US soldier in Iraq
Reuters, Baghdad
A US soldier was killed yesterday when an explosive device he was trying to disarm blew up, the US military said in a statement. "The soldier, a trained explosive ordnance disposal specialist, approached the improvised explosive device to disarm it when the device exploded," the statement said. US-led occupation forces, facing almost daily attacks, scored a major coup Saturday with the capture of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
