U.S. soldier killed in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 18 — A U.S. soldier was killed and another was wounded in a hit-and-run shooting Wednesday in central Baghdad, the latest in a wave of attacks and ambushes targeting U.S. forces in Iraq. Earlier, U.S. forces fired into a crowd of Iraqi protesters outside the headquarters of the U.S.-led administration in the capital, killing two people.
