MORE FATALITIES.

A grenade attack on a U.S. military convoy south of Baghdad killed one soldier and wounded another, the U.S. military said.

After the attack in Khan Azad, just south of the capital, two soldiers were evacuated by ambulance to a combat support hospital, the military said in a statement.

One was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital, the statement said.

The soldier was the ninth American serviceman to die in hostile action in Iraq this month.
