BAGHDAD, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were killed when their vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb west of Baghdad on Tuesday, the U.S. military said on Wednesday.

The U.S. military did not provide more details.

More than 60 U.S. soldiers have been killed so far in October, a pace, that if it continues, would make the month one of the deadliest for U.S. forces in the war.

Residents read a banner posted on a wall by the al-Qaeda-linked group Mujahideen Shura Council in Ramadi, about 100 km (60 miles) west of Baghdad, October 18, 2006. Dozens of al Qaeda-linked gunmen took to the streets of Ramadi on Wednesday in a show of force to announce the city was joining an Islamic state comprising Iraq's mostly Sunni Arab provinces, Islamists and witnesses said. The banner reads, "It's our pleasure to announce good news of the Iraqi Islamic State".
