Nine US soldiers killed, 20 wounded in Iraq car bomb

BAGHDAD (AFP) - A suicide bomber has exploded his car near a US military patrol base north of Baghdad killing nine soldiers and wounding 20 others, the military said Tuesday.
The attack took place in the restive Diyala province on Monday, the military said.

One Iraqi civilian was also wounded in the bomb attack.

Fifteen of the wounded soldiers have returned to duty after initial medical care, the military added.

The latest fatalities took the military's losses in Iraq to 70 in this month alone and to 3,330 since the March 2003 invasion of the country, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.
