BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says a roadside bomb killed four U.S. soldiers in Baghdad late Sunday. That raises the overall American death toll to at least 4,000, a grim milestone as the war enters its sixth year.

The military says another soldier was wounded when the bomb struck the soldiers’ vehicle during a patrol in southern Baghdad.

The statement says the soldiers are from Multi-National Division but gives no other details about their identities.
