BAGHDAD, Aug 27, 2006 (AFP) - Insurgents have killed two US soldiers, one in
a roadside bomb attack southeast of Baghdad and another in a gun attack in
the capital, the US military said Sunday.

"A Multi-National Division Baghdad soldier was killed at approximately 2:00
pm (1000 GMT) on Sunday by small-arms fire in eastern Baghdad," US
headquarters said in a statement.

The second soldier was killed when his vehicle was hit at around 10:15 pm
(1815 GMT) on Saturday, a previous statement said.

The latest fatalities brought the US military death toll in Iraq since the
March 2003 invasion to 2,620, according to AFP count based on Pentagon
figures.
