US military: American soldier dies in Iraq
BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says an American soldier has died in Iraq of injuries unrelated to combat.
A military statement says the soldier from United States Forces-Iraq died on Wednesday. The name of the soldier is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Thursday’s statement also says the incident is under investigation. It provided no further details.
The death raises to at least 4,376 the number of U.S. military personnel who have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. That’s according to an Associated Press count.
