British soldier dies in Iraq

LONDON (Reuters) - A British soldier has died from injuries sustained during a shooting incident in Iraq, the Ministry of Defense said on Friday.

A spokeswoman said the soldier, from the 58 Battery of the 12th regiment of the Royal Artillery, was wounded in an attack in al Qurna in the south of the country on Tuesday and died of his injuries on Thursday.

"His injuries were so serious that, despite the best treatment available, the medical team involved were unable to save him," the ministry said in a statement.
