Roadside bomb kills 5 U.S. soldiers in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A roadside bomb struck a U.S. military patrol in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Monday, killing five U.S. soldiers, the U.S. military said.

The military recently described Mosul as the only major Iraqi city that has a considerable presence of al Qaeda in Iraq fighters.

After the soldiers' vehicle was hit by the bomb, gunmen fired on the patrol from a nearby mosque, a military statement said.
