BAGHDAD - A US soldier was killed in Baghdad when gunmen ambushed his combat patrol during an ongoing American-led security operation in the war-torn Iraqi capital, the US military said on Thursday.


The soldier was killed when the patrol was attacked with small arms fire in a western sector of Baghdad on Wednesday, the military said.

The latest deaths brought the US military’s losses in Iraq since the March 20 invasion four years ago to 3,223, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.
