BAGHDAD - The US military on Tuesday announced the deaths of four US soldiers, bringing to 12 the number of troops that have died over three days.Two soldiers died in separate incidents from wounds received in ”enemy action” on Sunday in the western Al Anbar province of Iraq, according to a statement from coalition headquarters. The two casualties brought to 10 the number of servicemen to have died as a result of wounds sustained on Sunday in insurgent attacks, with eight of them reported dead in and around Baghdad.
In another incident, a soldier died on Sunday from non-hostile causes, a statement said without offering details. Earlier Tuesday the military had said another US soldier died after his Humvee utility vehicle rolled into an Iraqi canal. A statement said a National Guardsman from Nebraska died as a result of injuries sustained a week earlier when the Humvee flipped into water near Camp Anaconda outside Balad, northern Iraq. “Two others were injured in the accident (and) are still undergoing treatment for their injuries,” it added.
