BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed three U.S. soldiers and an interpreter in Iraq's Diyala province on Monday, the same day a suicide bomber killed five U.S. soldiers in the capital Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

Ethnically and religiously mixed Diyala is one of four provinces north of Baghdad where U.S. and Iraqi forces have mounted offensives this year to fight al Qaeda militants who have regrouped in the region.

The bombing in Baghdad, which the U.S. military had confirmed on Monday, was the worst single attack on U.S. forces in the capital in nearly nine months.

Also in Iraq's north, police said four Iraqi policemen, four gunmen and one civilian were killed on Tuesday in an attack on a security checkpoint in the city of Mosul, which the U.S. military says is al Qaeda's last major urban stronghold.
