U.S. soldier is killed in restive Iraqi town (Baquba)

BAGHDAD (Reuters)

An American soldier was killed and two others wounded in a bomb attack in the central Iraqi town of Baquba, the U.S. military said on Monday, as tensions simmered in the British-run southern city of Basra.

The attack on the 4th Infantry Division in the restive town of Baquba, which lies in the "Sunni triangle" area northeast of Baghdad, occurred at around 10 p.m. on Sunday.

The death brings to 56 the number of U.S. soldiers killed in hostile action in Iraq since President George W. Bush declared major combat over on May 1. ---

2. Which country did he die for?

What cause? The sad truth is his death was a total waste.
