BAGHDAD - Iraqi insurgents have killed two US marines and a navy sailor in the lawless west of the country, the US military said Monday in a statement.
The Americans "died from wounds sustained due to enemy action while operating in Al Anbar Province on August 20," the statement said, without giving more details.
The deaths brought the total number of US service personnel killed since March 2003 in the Iraq campaign to 2,611, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.
