One US soldier was killed and another injured when two Bradley fighting vehicles rolled over at a checkpoint that had come under fire in the northern city of Tikrit, US Central Command said Sunday.  

 

At least two Bradleys from the Army's 4th Infantry Division had approached the checkpoint to help out during the firefight when they both rolled over Saturday, the military said in a statement. The incident was under investigation.  

 

According to AP, a Central Command spokeswoman had no further information on the fighting at the checkpoint. (Albawaba.com)
