BAGHDAD - The American military widened the search for three missing U.S. soldiers, detaining nine people in a raid Saturday about 25 miles northwest of where the Americans were captured last weekend.
The U.S. command said Saturday five more American soldiers were killed. One died Saturday from a roadside bomb south of Baghdad. Four died Friday — one in the western province of Anbar, one by small arms fire south of the capital and two by a roadside bomb and small arms fire in northwestern Baghdad, the military said.
At least three mortar shells or rockets slammed into the Green Zone after British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived for talks with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other Iraqi leaders, injuring one person. It was not clear how far Blair was from the blasts.
A U.S. military statement said the nine detainees were taken into custody in the town of Amiriyah, a Sunni insurgent area, following "tips and information leads in the disappearance of three U.S. soldiers" from the Army's 10th Mountain Division.
Tribes in the Amiriyah area are related to those who live close to where the soldiers were seized May 12 in an attack in which four U.S. troops and one Iraqi were killed.
In addition, U.S. troops arrested two people in Baqouba "associated" with the al-Qaida command network, the military said. Baqouba is 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, and it was unclear whether their arrest was directly related to the search for the missing soldiers.
