Seven US soldiers were killed Thursday night when a roadside bomb hit their patrol vehicle in northwest Baghdad, the US military said.
Everyone inside the Bradley fighting vehicle was killed when it struck the powerful roadside bomb at about 6 p.m. local time, the US military said. This was the deadliest attack against US forces since a suicide bombing killed 14 US soldiers and three American contractors at a mess tent in northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
A US Marine was also killed in a separate incident Thursday in western Anbar province, the military said.
