BAGHDAD, Aug 21 (AFP) - A US soldier was killed and two others wounded in Baghdad early Saturday, when insurgents fired a rocket-propelled grenade at their vehicle, the military said.
The attack happened at around 12:30 am (2030 GMT Friday) in the southern part of the Iraqi capital, a statement said, providing no further details.
According to the last up-dated statistics on the Pentagon website, 708 US soldiers have been killed in action in Iraq since the March 2003 US-led invasion to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
