Baghdad: Five years after the invasion in Iraq, the death toll of US soldiers has risen to 4,000, the US military announced on Monday.
Four US soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb late on Sunday bringing the total number to 4,000, the military said in a statement.
One soldier was also wounded in the attack, which occurred when the bomb exploded near the soldier's vehicle in southern Baghdad.
