Five US soldiers die in Iraq

Five US soldiers died in Iraq, the US military announced today.

Three were killed yesterday in Kirkuk province, in northern Iraq, when a bomb exploded near their vehicle, the military said in a statement. Another soldier was wounded in the explosion.

A fourth soldier was killed by small arms fire the same day in Diyala province, north-east of Baghdad.

The fifth soldier died on Wednesday in a non-combat related incident that the military said it was investigating.
