5 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq

BAGHDAD: A roadside bomb killed five American soldiers on Monday in Iraq’s northern Ninevah province, said the U.S. military. The attack occurred days after a massive house explosion followed by a suicide attack left some 40 persons dead in the provincial capital of Mosul. The blasts on Wednesday and Thursday have drawn attention to the security situation in Mosul, which U.S. commanders describe as the last major urban centre with a significant Al-Qaeda presence. — AP
