BAGHDAD, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed in northern Iraq when an explosion hit their vehicle, the U.S. military said on Friday.

The U.S. military said in a statement the attack occurred in Nineveh province on Thursday. It gave no other details, such as whether the blast was caused by a roadside bomb or a car bomb.

The deaths take to more than 3,750 the number of U.S. soldiers killed since the start of the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Fourteen U.S. soldiers have died so far this month.

A woman wearing a quote attributed to U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus listens as peace activists read letters they say are from people around the country against the war and the administration of President George W. Bush - some calling for his impeachment - during a We Will Not Be Silent rally organized by several anti-war groups under the umbrella organization Activist Response Team on the west front lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington September 11, 2007. The protest was going on at the same time that Petraeus was delivering a report on the Iraq war to the U.S. Senate.
