Eight more American troops were killed on a single day in Iraq, the American military said Saturday.

Three American soldiers were killed Friday when their vehicle was bit by a bomb northeast of Baghdad, and two more in an ambush inside the city in which a gunmen opened fire on a patrol already hit by a roadside booby-trap.

Another soldier was killed in western Iraq, one was shot dead while on foot patrol in Baghdad and the eighth was killed by a roadside bomb south of the capital that wounded two American and two Iraqi troops.

The deaths brought total American casualties since the March 2003 invasion to 3,412 and the total deaths in May to 69, keeping it on course to be one of the bloodiest months of the war for American forces so far, though unofficial sources across Iraq put the figure at much higher.

Some political observers believe that the presence of foreign occupying forces remains behind insecurity in the oil-rich country.
