Four US soldiers were killed in separate attacks in Iraq today, the US military said.

Two soldiers were killed when they were fired upon in the Yusufiyah district southwest of Baghdad, while another soldier was killed by small-arms fire while on patrol northwest of the capital, the military said.

A fourth soldier was killed when his patrol struck a makeshift bomb in north Baghdad.

More than 2,100 US soldiers have died since the 2003 US-led invasion to oust Saddam Hussein from power.
