Two U.S. soldiers were killed Friday when a Task Force Baghdad patrol struck a roadside bomb in the western part of Baghdad, the military said in a statement, raising the day’s toll for U.S. forces to five dead. The military detained nine suspects in a nearby house.

The U.S. military also said Saturday that four U.S. soldiers were killed and two wounded Thursday when a Task Force Freedom convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in Tal Afar city, 90 miles east of the Syrian border. It did not explain the delay in announcing the casualties.

At least 1,586 members of the U.S. military have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

Sad, My heart goes out to every one of them, and the lifes that have been touched… Shame on you Mr. Bush
