BAGHDAD (AFP) - A US soldier was killed and another wounded in a suspected motorcycle bombing against their convoy in eastern Iraq (news - web sites), the military said.


"A 13th Corps Support Command soldier is dead and one is injured as the result of a suspected motorcycle bomb attack on their convoy near Sindiayah," it said in a statement, referring to a small town in the restive Diyala province.


The latest American death raised the number of US military fatalities in Iraq to 1,102 since the March 2003 invasion, according to Pentagon (news - web sites) numbers.


The support command group created headlines earlier this month when 18 soldiers refused to take a fuel convoy from Tallil, a base in southern Iraq, to Taji, north of the Iraqi capital.

5. I knew these were fuzzy numbers...

I truly believe the actual death/wounded rate is much higher.

6. What's going on with these numbers?

I am extremely glad if we are really seeing a slowing in the killings of our soldiers, but I guess I'm so paranoid at this point that I find it strange that the rate started going down in mid-October. Are we going to find out in 2 or 3 weeks that many more soldiers are dying now but that reporting on their deaths was held back?

I check out www.icasualties.org every day, and there's a welcome yet suspicious change in the trend since June.
