A U.S. soldier was killed and one wounded when their Bradley fighting vehicle struck a land mine near the town of Bayji in northern Iraq on Sunday night, a U.S. military spokesman said.

"The Bradley struck a land mine. It could have been put there minutes before or hours before," Major Gordon Tate told Reuters in Tikrit.
