BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A trio of attacks on U.S. troops in northern Iraq left one American soldier dead and five others wounded, the Coalition Public Information Center said Monday.
One soldier was killed and another was wounded near Baiji, north of Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, when their Bradley fighting vehicle hit an anti-tank mine while on patrol around 7:45 p.m. (12:45 p.m. ET) Sunday. The Bradley was destroyed in the incident.
Two other attacks involving improvised explosive devices left four other soldiers wounded, the U.S. military said.
