Five soldiers killed in accident

TIKRIT, Iraq — Five U.S. soldiers died last night when a Bradley Fighting Vehicle rolled into a canal during a combat patrol north of Baghdad near the town of Khan Bani Saad, the military said today.

The soldiers from the Army's 1st Infantry Division were dead on arrival at a military clinic. Two other soldiers were injured.

Also last night, a roadside bomb blast killed a U.S. soldier in Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

The Army also announced that a soldier has died during training at Camp Arifjan in the Kuwait desert. The soldier "collapsed while running outdoors," the Army said.
