U.S. soldier dies in western Iraq
American forces fight insurgents near border with Syria


BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A U.S. soldier has died from wounds suffered in an explosion in Iraq's vast Anbar province, the same region where U.S. troops have launched their latest offensive to drive out insurgents, the military said Monday.

The soldier was wounded Sunday in Ramadi, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of Baghdad, the military said.

Since the start of the Iraq war, 1,939 U.S. troops have died.

U.S. Marines and soldiers faced sporadic small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades as they entered Karabila on Sunday, part of the military's latest operation in Anbar province.

3. probably one of the guys

that Al-Qaeda claimed they killed in the same area of Iraq.

Instead of confirming it, the Army will probably say that their bodies were found in relation to other bombings.
