By BUSHRA JUHI – 4 hours ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — The U.S. military on Saturday announced the death of another American soldier — a woman — killed when her patrol was struck by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad.

Her death, which occurred Thursday, brought to at least 90 the number of female members of the U.S. military who have died since the start of the Iraq war in March 2003. That's out of a total of at least 3,849 American troop deaths, according to an Associated Press count.

The military did not release the woman's name or rank, saying only that she was assigned to Multi-National Division-Center.

The Associated Press
NEW AUBURN — A New Auburn native whose passion was barrel-racing died when an improvised explosive device exploded near her Humvee in Iraq, her mother said Saturday.

Second Lt. Tracy Alger, 30, died Thursday, according to her mother Pauline Knutson, of New Auburn.

Alger grew up in New Auburn, went to Chetek High School and then studied graphic design at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

“Serving her country was what she wanted,” Knutson said. “We had a conversation before she left that she might not be coming back, so we spent as much time together as we could.”...

...The Defense Department had not released details of her death Saturday afternoon.

How sad for the "female US soldier", her family, and all those who may have suffered at her hands in Baghdad.
