A roadside bomb fatally injured a U.S. soldier as he was
escorting a fuel convoy in northern Iraq the military said Sunday.
U.S. Army spokesman Master Sgt. Robert Powell said the bomb
exploded around 4 p.m. Saturday near the city of Beiji, about 90 miles south of
the northern city of Mosul.
Two soldiers were wounded and one died later Saturday. He was
with the U.S. 1st Infantry Division but his identity was not immediately
