BAGHDAD (AP) ― At least eight U.S. soldiers were killed in restive Diyala province north of Baghdad on Memorial Day, two of the victims in a helicopter that went down, the military reported Tuesday.
All the dead were Task Force Lightning soldiers. The military said six soldiers died in explosions near their vehicles, but gave no further information.
It was not immediately known if the helicopter was shot down or suffered mechanical difficulties.
The names of the soldiers were withheld until their families could be notified.
Also, a parked minibus packed with explosives blew up Tuesday in a busy section of central Baghdad, killing 23 people and injuring 68, police said. A second car bombing in the western part of the capital killed 15 others.
Meanwhile, three German citizens working for a German computer company were kidnapped from the Iraqi Finance Ministry in Baghdad, an Iraqi government official said.
The men were kidnapped by a group of gunmen who arrived at the ministry in a long convoy of white sports utility vehicles, which are often used by police, the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
