Baghdad- Two suicide bombers were among three terrorists killed Wednesday in a clash with US forces northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the US military said.

One of the bombers was shot dead and the other detonated his explosives as the troops approached, killing himself but causing no other casualties, the military said.

The incident took place in Dijala province, a stronghold of the terrorist network al-Qaeda in Iraq.

In other developments, a US soldier died Wednesday of injures suffered a day earlier in a bombing in Baghdad, a statement released by the military said.

The body of a woman was found a street near al-Kut, a town southeast of the capital, the news agency Aswat al-Iraq reported. (dpa)
