BAGHDAD (AP) -- Three American soldiers were killed in separate attacks
Monday in Baghdad, the U.S. military said. That pushed the two-day American
death toll to at least 10 nationwide.

Two soldiers were killed in a rocket propelled grenade attack and another
was killed by small arms fire in east Baghdad, the military said.

The U.S. military said earlier Monday that three other soldiers died in
separate roadside bombings on Sunday, when a total of at least six U.S.
soldiers died in Iraq.

At least 4,023 members of the U.S. military have died since the Iraq war
started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
