Baghdad, Iraq - The U.S. military said fourteen more U.S. soldiers were killed and 18 wounded by bombs and small-arms fire in Iraq's civil war on Saturday and Sunday.

Four U.S. soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle while they conducted a "combined cordon and search operation" northwest of the Iraqi capital Sunday, the military said.

A roadside bomb explosion killed one U.S. soldier and wounded three others and their Iraqi interpreter in Baghdad Sunday, the military said.

Two of the wounded soldiers returned to duty later Sunday, the military said. Another U.S. soldier was killed and two were wounded Sunday when a roadside bomb detonated during combat operations in an eastern section of Baghdad, the military said.
