Insurgents have killed six US troops in Iraq, including three US marines and a soldier in the restive western province of Al-Anbar, the military said Wednesday.
The four in Anbar were killed due to "enemy action" Tuesday, the military said, with the three marines belonging to Regimental Combat Team 7 based on the western Euphrates while the soldier was with a brigade in Ramadi. In Baghdad, two soldiers were killed Tuesday when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb in the north-west of the capital during "combat operations".
