BAGHDAD — A soldier was killed Monday in a roadside bombing north of Baghdad, the military said, a grim Memorial Day reminder of the dangers facing the troops despite recent security gains in Iraq. Two other soldiers were wounded in the blast in Salahuddin province, a mainly Sunni area north of Baghdad, according to a statement.

The military said another U.S. soldier had died of a non-combat-related cause Saturday.

The identities of the soldiers were being withheld pending notification of relatives.
