BAGHDAD (AFP) - Three US soldiers have been killed in Iraq, the US military announced on Thursday, making them the first American casualties of the new year.

A military statement said two soldiers were killed in a small-arms fire attack while conducting operations in Diyala province on Thursday. Another soldier was wounded.

A separate statement said another soldier was killed when his foot patrol was struck by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad on Wednesday.

The latest deaths bring the total number of American soldiers killed since the 2003 US-led invasion to 3,905, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

11. RIP to our brave soldiers, and a reminder to the chickenhawks

It's these soldiers who are paying the price for the arrogance of the Bush Administration, placed in harm's way by people like Bush, Cheney and the neocons who never served in battle themselves. Those soldiers are the real warriors here.
