Three soldiers die in bloody month for U.S. in Iraq-Reuters

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed south of Baghdad on Saturday when their vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said in a statement on Sunday.

More than 40 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq this month. At the current pace, October would be the deadliest for U.S. forces since January 2005. Two to three soldiers on average die every day in Iraq, most the victims of roadside bombs.
