BAGHDAD, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Three U.S. airmen working for a bomb disposal team were killed by a car bomb in Baghdad on Sunday, the U.S. military said. Another airman was wounded in the blast.

Earlier on Sunday the U.S. military reported the deaths of two soldiers -- one killed by small arms fire in Baghdad on Saturday, the second killed in combat on Friday in Iraq's western Anbar province.

More than 3,000 U.S. servicemen and women have died in Iraq since the start of the March 2003 invasion.

A video grab provided by Bosnia's State Court shows Swedish citizen Mirsad Bektasevic listening to his sentence in Sarajevo January 10, 2007. Bosnia's state court jailed a Swede, a Turk and a Bosnian for up to 15 years four months on Wednesday for planning a suicide attack in Europe. Bektasevic, 19, Denmark-based Turk Abdulkadir Cesur, 21, and Bosnian Bajro Ikanovic, 29, wanted to pressure Bosnia and European governments to withdraw forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, judge Mehmed Sator said.
