Roadside bombs kill three US soldiers in Iraq 20 minutes ago



BAGHDAD (AFP) - Three US soldiers were killed in separate roadside bomb attacks while on patrol in Baghdad, the military announced late Wednesday.

A woman soldier was severely wounded when a bomb exploded under her vehicle in western Baghdad, and she subsequently died of her wounds.

Another two soldiers died and several were wounded by a bomb targeting their vehicle while they searched a southern Baghdad neighbourhood for booby traps.

"The unit was conducting route clearance operations in the area when the attack occurred," the military said, adding that others were wounded in the explosion.

US and Iraqi troops have poured into the capital in recent weeks in a bid to pacify the war torn city, exposing them to much greater risk from the bombs and booby traps that litter the streets of the capital.
