May 30 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said two soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb while on patrol in southern Baghdad on Monday.
This brought the total of U.S. soldiers killed on Monday to 10, taking the total for May to 116, the deadliest month for U.S. troops since November 2004 when 137 soldiers were killed.
Two were killed when their helicopter came down under enemy fire in Diyala province. Troops heading to the crash site were struck by roadside bombs, killing six.
