TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed when their patrol was attacked near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, and a U.S. convoy came under fire in the flashpoint town of Falluja, the U.S. military and witnesses said Sunday.
Maj. Josslyn Aberle said a U.S. patrol was attacked late on Saturday with small arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire near the oil city of Kirkuk, killing two 4th Infantry Division soldiers and wounding another.
The attack about 130 miles north of Baghdad brought to 103 the number of U.S. soldiers killed in hostile fire in Iraq since Washington declared major combat operations over on May 1.
