Apr 24, 2007, 14:39 GMT

Baghdad - Eleven US soldiers were killed across war-ravaged Iraq during the 24 hours to Tuesday evening, sources said.

As the US military announced that nine US soldiers were killed in a suicide car-bombing in Iraq, local media were reporting that two more soldiers were killed overnight north of Karbala.

In the same incident, 20 other troops and an Iraqi civilian were injured when the attack took place Monday near their patrol base in Diyala province to the north-east of Baghdad.

Of the injured, 12 were able to return to work after initial medical treatment, while eight were sent for further treatment, the military said. ............

9 U.S. soldiers killed in suicide car bomb; 1 killed by roadside bomb
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- A suicide car bomb attack on a patrol base in Diyala province Monday killed nine American soldiers and wounded 20 others, the U.S. military said in a statement.

All of the casualties were members of the Army's 82nd Airborne, based in Fort Bragg, N.C.

"Today represents single greatest loss of life for soldiers from Fort Bragg in more than five years of simultaneous deployment," media affairs officer Maj. Tom Earnhardt told CNN.

In a 1994 training accident, 23 base personnel died in a crash at neighboring Pope Air Force Base.

Earlier, in a separate incident, the military said that a U.S. soldier was killed in Muqtadya, northeast of Baghdad, by a roadside bomb.
