BAGHDAD — Four U.S. soldiers and a Marine were killed in attacks in Baghdad and Iraq’s western Anbar province, the military said Monday.

The five deaths took place in separate attacks Sunday, the military said in a statement.

In Baghdad, a U.S.-Iraqi patrol was hit by a roadside bomb in a western district of the capital, then gunmen opened fire, killing one American soldier and wounding two Iraqi policemen.

A second soldier was killed when gunmen attacked his patrol in southern Baghdad, the military said in a statement.

Two soldiers and one Marine assigned to Multi-National Force-West were killed while conducting combat operations in Anbar, the military said, without providing further details.

The service members’ names were not released pending notification of their families.
