Two U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq explosions

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Two U.S. soldiers were killed by separate roadside explosions, the military said yesterday.

One soldier died and a second was wounded when a bomb hit a patrol overnight in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad. Another soldier was killed and four were wounded early yesterday by a bomb in Baghdad.

At least 1,325 members of the U.S. military have died since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

At least 1,036 have died as a result of hostile action, the Defense Department said.
