GI Killed in Iraq Attack; 2 Die in Blast

By MATTHEW ROSENBERG, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents hit a U.S. base in central Iraq with mortar shells, killing one American soldier and wounding two others, a U.S. military spokesman said Saturday. Two other soldiers were killed in a separate bomb attack.

The mortars struck a base of the Army's 4th Infantry Division near Balad, about 50 miles northwest of Baghdad on Friday night, Sgt. Robert Cargie said.

One of the shells exploded near a trailer used as a bedroom by troops, and a soldier standing in its doorway was killed. Two other soldiers were struck by shrapnel and taken to a combat support hospital, where they were in stable condition, Cargie said.

In a separate incident Friday, two U.S. soldiers on patrol south of Baghdad were killed by a homemade bomb, a military spokesman said. Three others were injured in the explosion and evacuated to a hospital.
