In a statement, the Department of Defense said 10,252 U.S. troops had been wounded since March 19, 2003, of which 5,396 were hurt seriously enough they were unable to return to the battlefield. Another 4,856 U.S. troops were wounded and were able to return to duty in Iraq, the statement said. The numbers of dead and injured grew Wednesday when one U.S. soldier was killed and two others were wounded in an attack on their patrol in the northern city of Tal Afar. That brings the total of U.S. soldiers killed to 1,340 since the war began. A suicide car bomber detonated Wednesday morning in western Baghdad, killing himself and an Iraqi civilian, a U.S. military spokesman said. A Baghdad police officer said the bomber had targeted a joint U.S.-Iraqi military convoy, but missed.
