BAGHDAD, Iraq - Four U.S. Marines died in a pair of roadside bombings in western Iraq's volatile Anbar province, the military said Tuesday. Another explosion killed two Iraqi civilians south of Baghdad.

Also Tuesday, two bombs exploded minutes apart near a square in central Baghdad, killing at least seven people and wounding about 20, police and hospital officials said.

The first bomb was in a plastic bag placed near a CD vendor's stand close to Tahrir Square by a man who fled seconds before the explosion at 9:55 a.m., said Capt. Mohammed Abdel Ghani.

The blasts highlight the constant danger posed by homemade bombs across Iraq, which have become the deadliest weapon used by mainly Sunni Arab insurgents against the U.S.-led military presence in the country.

Three Marines were killed by a bomb blast Monday in Hit, 85 miles west of Baghdad, according to a statement.

The victims were assigned to the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit that has operated in Anbar province since mid-December with an Iraqi army battalion.

Another Marine, attached to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, died from wounds caused by a bomb blast Sunday in an unspecified location within Anbar, which includes the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi.

The latest deaths take the number of U.S. military personnel killed to at least 2,257 since the Iraq war began in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
