LATIFIYAH, Iraq (AP) - A U.S. soldier was killed and four others wounded shortly after their humvees rolled out of base before dawn Saturday, the eighth day of a search for three missing comrades south of Baghdad...

A roadside bomb struck one group on a foot patrol, sending up a plume of smoke that could be seen hundreds of yards (meters) away. The U.S. military said one U.S. soldier died and three were wounded. An Iraqi soldier also was hurt.

Saturday's death was believed to be the second during the search for the three missing soldiers. The first was killed by a roadside bomb while searching a nearby village on Thursday.

During the Saturday mission, a sniper also shot and seriously wounded a U.S. soldier keeping watch from the roof of a house that had been commandeered as a resting place.

Troops searching elsewhere rushed to the help the units that were attacked because they had no medic.
