Two US servicemen killed near Fallujah
A US soldier and a US marine have died in a roadside bomb attack near the Iraqi city of Fallujah, the US military says.

"One US soldier and one US marine were killed and several other US forces and one civilian contractor were wounded when attackers detonated an improvised explosive device, at about 4:50 pm May 23 north-west of Fallujah," the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force said in a statement.

"Reports indicate the device was placed in a parked vehicle and detonated as two US convoys passed on the highway," the statement added.

The US military also reported that four soldiers were wounded by roadside bombs and four others by mortar attacks on a military facility in Baghdad on Sunday.

Another soldier was wounded by small arms fire when anti-coalition forces attacked an Iraqi police station in north-east Baghdad.

The latest fatality brought the US military death toll in Iraq to 796 since the start of the US-led invasion in March 2003.

The figure includes 580 troops killed in action.
