Car bombings hit Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A U.S. soldier was killed and two were wounded yesterday when their convoy rolled over a homemade bomb near Iskandariyah, about 25 miles south of the capital, Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

Soldiers fired at fleeing suspects, wounding some and taking them prisoner, the military said without specifying numbers.

Also yesterday, a U.S. soldier was pronounced dead at a military hospital after he collapsed and stopped breathing during guard duty in Baghdad, U.S. Central Command said

As of yesterday, 822 U.S. service members have died in Iraq since the beginning of military operations in March 2003, according to the Defense Department.

Of those, 604 died as a result of hostile action.
