Soldier Is Killed at Close Range at Iraq Campus

"BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 6 — An American soldier who was accompanying United States officials visiting Baghdad University was fatally shot today by an unidentified gunman, witnesses and American officials said.

Several students who said they had witnessed the shooting, outside a cafeteria near the university's engineering school, said the gunman had pulled out a pistol and fired a single shot at point-blank range into the soldier's head. An American official said the soldier had apparently just left the cafeteria after buying a drink."

2. Isn't today July 6th?

If, so, I think it falls within the scope of LBN.
