BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A rocket-propelled grenade attack Monday killed a U.S. soldier and wounded six others in Baghdad, the U.S. military in Iraq said Tuesday.
A spokesman said the troops from the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division came under attack while destroying "improvised explosive devices" -- a term the military uses to describe makeshift bombs often left by roadsides to target soldiers.
The death brought to 114 the number of U.S. soldiers killed by hostile fire since President Bush (news - web sites) declared major combat over on May 1 in the war that ousted Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) as Iraqi leader.
The attack came on the bloodiest day in Baghdad since Saddam's fall in April. Four suicide bombings killed at least 35 people and wounded 230 in attacks on the International Committee of the Red Cross and three Iraqi police stations.
