Baghdad : Eight US soldiers were killed in two terrorist bombings in Iraq on Monday.

The second attack took place in Diyala province, the same day that five US soldiers were killed in a suicide attack in Baghdad.

IRNA reporter in Baghdad said that the bombings on Monday take the number of US troops killed since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 to 4,000.
