BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Roadside bombings in Iraq killed four American troops and seven Iraqis in a flurry of attacks Tuesday corresponding with a Muslim holy month when insurgents regularly step up their fighting.
The attacks, which occurred in Baghdad and several hot spots in northern Iraq, also left 28 people wounded.
The strikes fell during the holy month of Ramadan, considered to be a time of peace and giving for Muslims across the world.
The Americans died when roadside bombings targeted their patrols, the U.S. military said. Three U.S. troops were killed near the Salaheddin provincial city of Baiji in northern Iraq. Another service member was killed in southern Baghdad.
The four were from the Multi-National Corps-Iraq, and their identifications were being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The killings marked the deadliest day for U.S. troops since June 30 when they pulled out of urban areas as part of a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement.

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Four U.S. service members were killed in fighting Tuesday in eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. military said.

Elsewhere, a suicide bomber killed two people and wounded six others Tuesday morning in the Kabul airport's military section, Afghan officials said.
U.S. and Belgian nationals were among the wounded, a Western diplomatic official told CNN. The victims were all civilians, the Interior Ministry official said.

NEW VIDEO OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS IN IRAQ
A series of bomb blasts has killed more than 50 people near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. The attacks came less than 24 hours after workers began removing protective blast walls around the capital, under government orders. As Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid reports, the bombings underscore the violence that still plagues the country following the pull back of US troops from Iraq's major cities in June.

NEWS ALERT: SUICIDE BOMBING OUTSIDE OF BAGHDAD KILLS AT LEAST 17
KIM GAMEL
AP foreign, Tuesday September 8 2009
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/8696236?FORM=ZZNR2
Associated Press Writer= BAGHDAD (AP) Suicide attackers struck near a Shiite mosque north of Baghdad and a checkpoint west of the capital on Monday as bombings killed at least 17 people nationwide.
The violence was concentrated in former Sunni insurgent strongholds that have seen a sharp decline in violence after local tribal leaders turned against al-Qaida in Iraq. Despite the relative calm, a series of deadly bombings have raised concerns about a resurgence of violence as the U.S. military scales back its presence, with a full withdrawal planned by the end of 2011.
The attacks which mainly targeted checkpoints and Iraqi policemen €”also highlighted the weaknesses in the Iraqi security forces, which are struggling to prove they are ready to take over from the Americans.
The deadliest attack was a suicide car bomber who struck a line of vehicles waiting to be inspected before crossing a bridge near the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi, police said.
