UK soldier killed by Iraq blast

A British soldier has been killed and four were seriously injured
following a roadside bomb attack in Basra, southern Iraq, the Ministry
of Defence says.

The MoD confirmed that the soldier died from injuries sustained in the
attack, which occurred around 1230 local time.

It said an investigation into the attack had already been launched.
Army spokesman Maj Steve Melbourne said the attack was to the north of
Basra.

The latest death brings the total death toll for UK soldiers in Iraq
to 98.
