US soldiers die in Baghdad bomb

 

Three US soldiers have been killed in a roadside bombing in Baghdad,

the US military has said.

 

Another was wounded in Monday's attack on the unit, which the military

said had been carrying out raids locally.

 

In a separate incident, a US spokeswoman denied reports that a US

helicopter had crashed in the centre of the Iraqi capital.
