A US soldier was killed in action in the volatile western province of Al Anbar on Tuesday, the military announced in a statement.
"A soldier assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force was killed in action on January 11, while conducting security and stability operations in the Al Anbar province," the military said.
The military gave no further information.

Nor does ABC give further information that "security and stability operations in Al Anbar province" is code for "continued fighting in Falluja". Must allow Americans to think that mission has been accomplished.
Reuters follows the same script, releasing the military's official statement, adding this silly, but true, closing line:
U.S. troops often come under attack from insurgents who want them to leave Iraqi soil.
Speaking of the relatively new "hot" spot, The Australian doesn't sugar coat the news that two bombs in the last two days have killed more Iraqi soldiers.
Mosul was plunged into all-out war between US forces and insurgents in early November.
Indeed. And the "operations" in Falluja still constitute war, too. No matter how they avoid saying so.<
