US soldier dies in combat in Baghdad
BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says an American soldier has died in combat in Baghdad.
A statement by the military says the soldier from the U.S. Central Division was killed in combat on Thursday in the Iraqi capital.
The name of the deceased soldier is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The death raises to at least 4,386 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.
