Deaths of 10 American troops are announced
The U.S. military has announced the deaths of 10 troops in Iraq, including four killed Wednesday when a roadside bomb exploded near their patrol in this capital city. Their Iraqi interpreter also died.
The four American deaths, added to an earlier count on icasualties.org, brought to at least 3,627 the number of U.S. forces killed in Iraq since March 2003.
Two sailors were killed Tuesday in Salahuddin province, the military said. Two soldiers died Tuesday in west Baghdad when a bomb went off near their vehicle, and a third died in the east in a roadside bombing. The military also reported the noncombat death Monday of a Marine in Al Anbar province.
