BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Roadside bombs have killed four U.S. marines in Iraq in the past two days, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.
Three marines were killed on Monday in Hit, a town in the Sunni insurgent heartland of Anbar province. A roadside bomb, which the U.S. military calls an improvised explosive device (IED), killed another marine in the same province.
The roadside bomb is one of the deadliest weapons used against U.S. forces in Iraq.
At least 2,252 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the start of the war that toppled Saddam Hussein in March 2003.
