Six More soldiers dead.
Six US soldiers and their translator have been killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, the US military has said.
The attack happened in the west of the Iraqi capital on Saturday, a statement released on Sunday announced.
The troops' identities have been withheld until their families can be informed, the statement said.
In a separate incident in Diwaniya, 130km (80 miles) south of Baghdad, one US soldier was killed and two injured when their vehicle was hit by a blast.
The BBC's James Shaw in Baghdad says roadside bombs remain the biggest threat for international forces operating in Iraq.
The troops in killed in Baghdad were part of a unit which had spent the last week searching for weapons caches and bomb-making equipment in insurgents' safe-houses around the city, the US statement said.
