The U.S. soldier died when a car bomb detonated near a combat logistics patrol northeast of Tal Afar, military officials said.

The 1st Corps Support Command soldier died of wounds sustained in the bombing, authorities said. The soldier's name was being withheld pending notification of relatives.

Tal Afar, located in Nineveh province west of restive Mosul, has been the scene of sustained insurgent activity, and recently U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a major show of force against insurgents there.

The fatality brings the number of American soldiers killed in the Iraq war to 1,720.

... and don't you love the " Tal Afar is the scene of sustained insurgent activity" part. The whole fucking country is the scene! :grr:
