Five killed in Iraq violence
Four US soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in separate attacks in Iraq, including three in a single roadside bombing, the military said today.
The deaths push the month’s American toll above 100.
The roadside bomb killed three Multi-National Division-Baghdad soldiers and wounded another while they were on a combat patrol yesterday in eastern Baghdad, the military said.
An Iraqi interpreter was also killed in the attack.
Another Multi-National Division-Baghdad soldier on a combat patrol was killed by small arms fire in eastern Baghdad on Saturday, the military said in a separate statement.
The deaths raised to at least 103 American troops who have died in Iraq this month and at least 3,350 who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
