was struck by a roadside bomb, killing one Soldier and wounding two others on March 11.
In the last two weeks, this particular unit has been directly involved in the discovery
of several caches.

The deceased Soldier’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Suicide perhaps? The stress for some is intolerable. They get sent over there and don't have any idea when BushCo will let them come back home.
