Military: Suicide bomber kills US soldier in Iraq

BAGHDAD - The U.S. military says an American soldier
has been killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq.

A statement says the attacker struck a Multi-National
Division — North soldier during operations Wednesday in
Diyala province. U.S. and Iraqi forces launched an
offensive this summer to try to rout insurgents from
the rural area north of Baghdad.

At least 4,171 members of the U.S. military have died
in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003, according
to an Associated Press count.
