BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec 7, SPA -- The U.S. military confirmed Thursday that another soldier died in fighting the day before, raising to 11 the number of American troops killed in a single day. The soldier was shot Wednesday while manning a machine gun nest on the roof of an outpost in the city, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, the capital of the volatile Anbar province, according to an Associated Press reporter who was on the scene. The death came on the same day that 10 other U.S. troops were killed in four separate incidents in Iraq, a major blow on the same day a high-level panel in Washington recommended gradually shifting U.S. forces from a combat to a training role.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/409375
