Pentagon confirms US serviceman killed in Iraq

A US service member fighting the Islamic State group was killed by enemy fire in Iraq Tuesday, the Pentagon says.

The fatality occurred during an IS attack on a Peshmerga position north of Mosul, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook says in a statement. The US-led anti-IS coalition had said earlier that a service member had died but did not specify a nationality.
