BAGHDAD - A United States soldier and airman have died in separate incidents in the Baghdad area, the US military announced on Saturday.
The airman was killed on Saturday while acting as a turret gunner for Iraqi police patrolling in the Baghdad area.
The soldier died on Friday of wounds sustained when his vehicle struck a road side bomb southwest of Baghdad.
The deaths brings the number of US servicemen who have died in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion to 2,755, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.
