The US military says an American soldier and four Iraqi civilians have been killed in a suicide bombing north of Baghdad.
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Steve Stover said the suicide bomber struck US-Iraqi forces Sunday as they were responding to a roadside bomb that wounded an Iraqi in Tarmiyah.
He said two US soldiers and an interpreter also were among 24 people who were wounded.
The military blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for Sunday's attack.
