BAGHDAD, Iraq - A U.S. soldier from the Army's Stryker Brigade was killed Saturday in an "electrical accident," the U.S. command said.
The statement said the incident, which occurred in Mosul, was under investigation, and the Army released no further details. The Stryker Brigade, part of the 2nd Infantry Division, takes its name from an armored vehicle used by the command.
The latest death brings to 764 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq last year. Of those, 556 died as a result of hostile action and 208 died of non-hostile causes.
