A North Dakota soldier has been killed in action in Iraq. A family friend says 27-year old David Kuehl of Wahpeton died in a roadside bomb explosion in the Baghdad area. The friend says Kuehl's wife, two children, and parents live in Wahpeton. His death brings to 16 the number of U-S service members from North Dakota or serving with North Dakota military units who have been reported killed while on duty in Iraq. Four others were killed in Afghanistan. A spokesman for the North Dakota National Guard says the Guard has been assisting Kuehl's family even though Kuehl was not a Guard member. Kuehl was a 1999 graduate of Wahpeton High School.  « Less
