BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed in two separate incidents in northern Iraq, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, the latest casualties in what has been the deadliest year of the war for U.S. forces.

In central Baghdad, a roadside bomb killed two civilians and wounded three just outside the heavily fortified Green Zone that houses the U.S. embassy and government ministries, police said.

The explosion, which shook buildings in the Green Zone, was close to a heavily guarded checkpoint where hundreds of Iraqis who work inside the sprawling complex queue every morning.

It was one of the loudest blasts heard in the capital in weeks after a lull in attacks that had become almost a daily occurrence earlier this year, witnesses said.
