BAGHDAD, June 26 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed a U.S. soldier
in eastern Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Thursday, bringing to
eight the number of American troops killed in Iraq this week.

A military statement said the soldier was killed on Wednesday by an
armour-piercing roadside bomb called an explosively formed projectile,
or EFP.

U.S. officials say components of EFPs are made in neighbouring Iran
and supplied to Shi'ite militias fighting U.S. troops. Tehran denies
the charge.
