BAGHDAD, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Three U.S. airmen were killed in action in western Iraq on Monday and two other soldiers died in separate incidents, the military said on Tuesday.

The U.S. military in Baghdad said the three airmen were killed by enemy action in Anbar province. One Marine died in "non-hostile action", the ususal term for an accident, in the same area. A fifth serviceman died of what the army described as apparent natural causes.
