Insurgents kill U.S. soldier in attack on U.S. patrol

Insurgents attacked Monday a U.S. military patrol in northeastern Baghdad, killing a soldier and wounding five others, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

"The patrol was conducting operations to deny enemy movements and enforce curfew restrictions in a northeastern neighborhood of the city when it was attacked," the military said in a statement.

Earlier, the military announced another soldier was killed when his armored vehicle rolled over in north of Baghdad Monday.

Since the U.S.-led war in Iraq broke out in March 2003, over 2, 895 U.S. soldiers have been killed in the war-torn country, according to media count.
