BAGHDAD, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Four U.S. military personnel were killed and two were wounded in two separate incidents in Iraq on Saturday, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Three military police were killed and one was wounded when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in eastern Baghdad, it said.

In a later statement, the military said one soldier was killed and one was wounded in an explosion while they were taking part in operations in Diyala province.

A total of 2,964 U.S. military deaths have been reported in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion was launched in 2003.
