BAGHDAD (AFP) - Insurgents killed three US soldiers and wounded another two in separate attacks in northern Iraq, the military said Thursday.

Two soldiers died and two were wounded in an explosion near their vehicle as they were conducting operations in Nineveh province, and another soldier died in a similar blast near his vehicle in Salaheddin province, it said.

The military did not give the cause of the two blasts.

The US military's overall losses in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion have now reached 3,845, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

The Pentagon figures also take into account soldiers who die after leaving Iraq for treatment.
