The three blasts follow an earlier car bombing that killed one US soldier and two Iraqi policemen and wounded 10 Iraqis and three US soldiers.

The bomb exploded near a checkpoint at a crowded intersection in Abu Ghraib, just west of Baghdad.

A doctor at Abu Ghraib hospital, Muhammad Safaa al-Din, said 60 people had been wounded in the blast, including 15 children and 10 women.

Toll increase

Another US soldier was killed in a separate incident when a rocket hit a US logistics base near Baghdad.

Attacks on US troops have risen to around 80 a day from 40 a month ago.

The confirmed deaths of the two soldiers raise the US toll in Iraq toat least 1052 since Iraq was invaded in 2003. No accurate figures for Iraqi civilian casualties have been kept, though the toll is believed to be just under 40,000.
