BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An explosion killed three U.S. soldiers in Iraq's Diyala province on Tuesday, the military said.

In a statement, the military said the blast went off near their patrol. Three other soldiers were wounded, it said.

The statement gave no details on the type of explosion, but many soldiers are killed by roadside bombs in Iraq.

Diyala, north of Baghdad, has been a sanctuary for gunmen from al Qaeda in Iraq, although U.S. commanders say that recent offensives in the province have helped quell the influence of the militant group.
