BAGHDAD (AP) --
A U.S. soldier died of wounds Tuesday in Diyala province, north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said. The death raised to at least 3,495 the number of members of the U.S. military who have died since the start of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
Elsewhere, assassins killed a police official and an aide to Iraq's pre-eminent Shi'i cleric.
Police Maj. Enad Khattab was shot and killed along with his brother about 10 p.m. Tuesday as they drove in central Beiji about 155 miles north of Baghdad, a local police officer reported. He spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns.
