A US marine has been killed and three others wounded in a mortar attack in western Iraq, a senior coalition military official said Thursday.

The marine was killed when three mortar rounds were fired on US troops at 6:55 pm (1555) on Wednesday near the Iraqi-Syrian border at Qusayba, the official said.

The latest casualty was the first marine to be killed on duty since some 25,000 US marines were dispatched to Iraq in 2004, to relieve American grounds forces returning to the United States.
