Occupation forces have come under renewed attack across Iraq overnight, with one US soldier killed in an ambush.

Another was wounded in the roadside bomb attack in Baghdad, which occurred late on Saturday evening.

"One soldier was killed and another was wounded in an improvised explosive attack at 7:45 pm" in Baghdad's Waziriyah neighbourhood, a military spokesman told AFP.

3. A Heavy Heart...
My letter to the brain-dead-far-rght-local-paper was published 10 days ago when 328 US soldiers were dead.

Before I got published 5 more US soldiers died and now the total has ballooned!

2. This happened on Saturday, yes?
There was an LBN thread about it early this morning:

I think it's the same attack; and yes, you're right. No mainstream media coverage. Too busy pumping up the Reagan "legacy" on CNN, for example...

4. Latest Deaths Just In From AP
It's dated Friday but may include the 3rd man due to the time difference.
