MY SUSPICION IS that the longer we are there, the more common this will become. One killed, five wounded in the 101st Airborne Division. The rest is here.
FALLUJAH, Iraq - An American soldier was killed and five were wounded early Thursday when they were hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, the U.S. military said.

The attack came a day after more than 1,500 soldiers from the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division moved into Fallujah and surrounding areas to quell increasing attacks on American occupying forces in that region.

The Army soldiers who came under attack were assigned to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, the military said in a statement. That regiment has been based in the area for weeks.
