BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Fighting killed another U.S. soldier Monday in Baghdad as members of Iraq's governing council met to appoint a president and other officers and representatives.

The soldier -- serving with the 3rd Infantry Division -- was killed around 6 a.m. in the Al Mansur area of Baghdad when multiple rocket-propelled grenades hit the soldier's convoy, according to a U.S. military spokeswoman. Six others were wounded, she added.

With the latest death, 81 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since President Bush announced an end to major combat operations May 1. Of those, 33 have been killed by hostile fire and 48 were victims of non-hostile fire or accidents.

In a separate incident Monday, an apparent grenade attack destroyed a car outside the Baghdad headquarters of the U.S.-led administration in Iraq, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

The headquarters compound includes a building where Iraq's newly seated governing council was meeting Monday.
