Three US soldiers have been killed in two separate roadside bomb attacks in and around Baghdad, the US military says.
Two of the dead were killed when a roadside bomb hit a foot patrol southwest of the capital on Wednesday. One more soldier was wounded.
In the other attack, a roadside bomb exploded near a patrol on a route clearance mission in eastern Baghdad. Two more soldiers were wounded.
The latest deaths take the number of US military deaths in Iraq since the start of the US-led invasion in March 2003 to at least 2,986.
Rising US casualties have contributed to pressure on US President George W Bush to change his strategy in Iraq and set a timetable for a troop withdrawal.
Bush has said he will announce a new direction in Iraq in early January.
