US mil: US soldier killed in rocket attack

Source: AP

BAGHDAD: The U.S. military says an American soldier has been killed in a rocket attack on a military base in southern Iraq.

The military says in a statement that the soldier was killed Tuesday in an attack on a U.S. position near the city of Amarah.

Amarah is a mainly Shiite area, where the Iraqi government recently led a crackdown on militants.

At least 4,144 members of the U.S. military have died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003. That's according to an Associated Press count.
