BAGHDAD, Sept 4: Ten US and two British troops died in Iraq, most of them killed in guerilla attacks across the Country, the US military said on Monday. One American soldier was killed on Monday in a roadside bomb attack and another died of ‘non-combat injuries’ which are under investigation, the military said.
Eight US service personnel were killed on Sunday.
Two marines were killed by ‘enemy action’ in Iraq’s western province of Al-Anbar, a bastion of the resistance, while a soldier died in a roadside bomb attack near the northern town of Mosul.
Two soldiers were killed in Baghdad in a similar roadside bomb attack, while another two marines were killed also in Anbar province. Another soldier was killed also by a roadside bombing near the restive city of Baquba, north of Baghdad.
The latest deaths brought the US military’s losses in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion to 2,651.
