BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was shot in the head while buying digital
video discs at a shop in Baghdad on Friday, the shop owner and other witnesses
said.
The U.S. military had no immediate comment on the report. It was not clear from
witness accounts whether his wound was fatal.
The shop owner, who refused to give his name, said the soldier had come into the
DVD shop in the Kazimiyah neighborhood in the northwest of the city at around 11
a.m. and picked up two discs.
"He took out dollars from his pocket and as I looked at the money I heard a
bang. He froze and then fell backwards," the owner told Reuters Television. "Two
other soldiers came in, picked him up and took him away."
Other witnesses corroborated the owner's version. One said he saw a young man
shooting the soldier at close quarters in the lower head.
Two U.S. soldiers were killed and 10 wounded in a spate of attacks on Thursday
as armed resistance to American and British military occupation appeared to be
rising.
Unfortunate syntax on the BBC News "breaking news" bar. It said:
"US soldier shot in Iraq. More later".

Unfortunate, but a safe bet. On average I would say that at least one
coalition soldier dies every day and several are wounded. That's
probably a conservative estimate, no pun intended. It's starting to get
bad in Afghanistan too. Multiple this out for at least 3-5 years and it
clearly sucks to be a poor boy serving in Dubya's SS.
But does this deter George? Hell no. He's just spoiling for the next
two or three fights in Iran, Syria, North Korea,...
