THE BIG RED ONE TAKES THEIR FIRST KIA

Heartbreaking.
Another American soldier has been killed in Iraq after a roadside bomb went off near his convoy.

The military says the soldier is the first member of the 1st Infantry Division to die in Iraq. The 1st Infantry is replacing the 4th Infantry Division.

The soldier died after the Humvee he was riding in was hit by the bomb just east of the tense town of Baqouba. The area is part of the so-called "Sunni Triangle," which has been a hotbed of anti-American resistance.

A second soldier was injured in the explosion and is listed in stable condition.
