May 25 (Reuters) - Five U.S. soldiers were killed in four separate attacks across Iraq on Thursday, most of them by roadside bombs, the U.S. military said on Friday.
The U.S. military also reported the death of another soldier on Tuesday in a roadside bomb attack near Tikrit, 175 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad. Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:
