BAGHDAD — A Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldier was killed during a small arms fire attack while conducting combat operations north of the Iraqi capital July 29.

Soldiers from this unit continue to work side-by-side with their Iraqi Army counterparts conducting cordon and search and targeted raid operations in an effort to disrupt and deny insurgent safe havens in the area. Numerous suspected insurgents have been detained and weapons caches found as a result of these successful operations.

The deceased Soldier’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and release by the Department of Defense.
