US soldier killed in Kirkuk

A US soldier has been killed and two others wounded during an ambush in northern Iraq.

It's believed a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at their vehicle in the oil-producing city of Kirkuk.
The dead soldier is from the 173rd Airborne Brigade. None of the victims have been named.

The number of US soldiers killed by hostile fire since May 1, when George Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq, has risen to 86.
Two hundred Americans have died in combat since the US launched military operations in Iraq on March 20.
