Three US soldiers from the 1st Armored Division died and one was injured in a roadside bomb during a patrol Saturday night in southeastern Baghdad, an occupation spokeswoman said Sunday. 

 

In the meantime, on Sunday, a roadside bomb killed an American soldier in Baghdad, the US-led occupation said. The soldier from the 1st Infantry Division died at a combat hospital from injuries sustained in the 6:30 a.m. attack, a spokeswoman said.  

 

Meanwhile, the US-led occupation authority also announced that it will shut most border crossings with Iran. However, an Iraqi spokesman said the policy ran counter to Iraq's interest and would be reversed after the country gains sovereignty on June 30. (Albawaba.com)
