Kansas City, Mo. — A soldier assigned to an Army unit based at Fort Riley was killed when his patrol came under enemy attack last week in Baghdad.
Pfc. Christopher M. North, 21, of Sarasota, Fla., was killed Saturday by IEDs and small arms fire, the Department of Defense said Thursday. North was a cavalry scout for the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
