US soldier killed in Iraq

An American soldier has been shot dead while on patrol in central Iraq.

The incident happened near the town of Balad, 55 miles north of Baghdad, says Major William Thurmond, a spokesman for the US Army's V Corps.

There has been a series of hit-and-run attacks on US troops across central Iraq since major ground combat ended almost two months ago.
