BEND, Ore. —Army Spc. Zachary McBride of Bend was one of six soldiers killed by a bomb north of Baghdad, the Oregon Military Department said late Thursday.
The soldiers were conducting a house-to-house mission Wednesday when a bomb exploded in a house in Diyala, said Kay Fristad, a department spokeswoman. Four other soldiers were wounded.
McBride is the fourth Central Oregon service member killed in Iraq in the past year and a half. Two civilians with ties to the area also have died in the wars of the Middle East since 2004.
