BAGHDAD, Feb 18 (AFP) - One US soldier was killed in bomb attack south of Baghdad Friday, the US military said.
However, the military retracted an earlier statement reporting a second incident, which would have brought to two the number of soldiers killed Friday.
The soldier killed died northeast of Diwaniyah, south of the capital, when a roadside bomb exploded, a statement said.
The updated toll for the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion stands at 1,466, according to Pentagon figures.
