6-20-3
| BAGHDAD (AFP) - A US Army medic
was killed and two other soldiers wounded in a rocket-propelled grenade
(RPG) attack on a military ambulance in Al-Iskandariya, south of Baghdad. The 804th Medical Brigade soldier was killed and the two others hurt when their ambulance was hit as it headed to an army hospital, transporting a patient injured in an unrelated incident, a US military spokeswoman told AFP on Thursday. The latest death brings to 52 the number of US troops killed since President George W. Bush declared the war in Iraq effectively over on May 1, according to an AFP count from US military statements. Sixteen of those were killed in attacks and the rest in accidents. Copyright © 2002 AFP. All rights reserved.
