US Soldier Dies In N. Iraq Ambush; Another Attack In Baghdad

The worst kind of reminder that in the States it's Memorial Day. From the Boston Globe / AP:

Gunmen ambushed a U.S. military convoy in northern Iraq on Monday, killing an American soldier and wounding four others. Also, four soldiers were wounded in what appeared to be a land-mine attack in a wealthy Baghdad neighborhood, military officials and witnesses said ...

... The command said the ambush happened at 6:15 a.m. and that the troops belonged to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
