An American soldier was killed on Sunday in southern Iraq, the US military said, without providing further details. 'A Multi-National Division South soldier was killed in action,' the army said, adding that the soldier's name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and clearance by the Defence Department. The multinational force now consists only of US troops. A total of 4,365 American soldiers have died in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion, according to an selfnews count based on data from the independent icasualties.org website.
