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

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

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.
