U.S. military reports 2 soldiers killed in separate attacks in Baghdad
Published: June 1, 2007

BAGHDAD: A U.S. soldier was killed by small-arms fire Friday
in central Baghdad, while another was shot to death earlier
this week elsewhere in the capital, the military said.

A Multi-National Corps — Iraq soldier was killed by small-arms
fire at about noon on Friday in the vicinity of Zawiyah,
according to a statement.

On Wednesday, one Multi-National Division — Baghdad soldier
was killed and another was wounded, along with an interpreter,
when their patrol was attacked by small-arms fire in the
capital. That raised to at least 124 the number of U.S. troops
deaths in May, which was the third-deadliest month for
American forces since the war started in March 2003.

The soldiers' identities were not released pending notification
of relatives.
