BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- As U.S. troops searched for three soldiers reportedly captured after an attack on their convoy, new attacks killed more troops and Iraqi civilians on Sunday.

Two U.S. soldiers died in separate blasts, the U.S. military reported. The first explosion was in the Salah Ad Din province, and the second in Haditha.

Insurgents also struck a crowded Baghdad square and political offices in northern Iraq in two bombings that killed 65 Iraqis and wounded 150 others, local officials told CNN.
