In the worst attack, four Task Force Baghdad soldiers died when their patrol struck a roadside bomb in Youssifiyah, 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Baghdad, the military said.
A similar bomb hit a patrol near Balad, 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, killing two soldiers from the 29th Brigade Combat Team.
