BAGHDAD (AP) ― Five American soldiers were killed and seven wounded in a coordinated attack in southern Baghdad involving a roadside bomb and rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. military announced Friday.
The soldiers were on a combat patrol when a roadside bomb exploded near them on Thursday, the military said in a statement. Shortly after the blast, insurgents attacked with small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades, it said.
All seven wounded soldiers were evacuated to a military hospital, and one has since returned to duty, the military said. The victims' names were withheld pending family notification.
The deaths brought to 99 the number of U.S. troops who have died in Iraq this month, according to an Associated Press count.
Last month, 126 U.S. military personnel died, making May the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Iraq since November 2004, and the third-deadliest month since the war began. At least 104 Americans died in Iraq in April.

The death toll for the past three months ― 329 ― made it the deadliest quarter for U.S. troops in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.
At least 3,576 members of the U.S. military have died since then, according to AP figures. The number includes seven military civilians. At least 2,936 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
The British military issued a statement Friday saying all of its bases came under attack from mortars or rockets in the past 24 hours, but there were no casualties or damage.
Britain maintains a force of about 5,500 troops based mainly on the fringes of Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad.
In other violence, Iraqi police said a suicide car bomb exploded at Iraqi army post north of Baghdad, destroying the building and igniting a fire. There was no immediate word on casualties.
The blast went off at a railway station in Mishada, a town 20 miles north of the capital, an officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. The Iraqi Army had recently taken over the station, in preparation for securing the area ahead of a Shiite Muslim march next week.
After suspected al-Qaeda bombers exploded the minarets of a prized Shiite shrine north of Baghdad earlier this month, radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called on his followers to march to the shrine in Samarra on July 5. The Iraqi government has urged citizens not to take part out of concern that the route ― which weaves through a predominantly Sunni area ― is not secure.
Also Friday, Iraqi police said a bomb exploded under an oil pipeline south of Baghdad, spilling crude oil and sparking a huge fire.
The explosives were planted under a stretch of pipeline in the Mowehlah area of Haswa, a town 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the Iraqi capital, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
The pipeline transmit crude oil from Iraq's southern oil fields to the Dora refinery in Baghdad.
The blast ignited a huge fire around 5 a.m., the officer said. By midday, firefighters were still struggling to extinguish the flames, which were fueled by a continuing leak of oil from the pipeline, he said. Workers were also looking for a way to temporarily cut off the oil flow, until a repair could be made, the officer added.
Meanwhile, Iraq's defense ministry issued a statement saying NATO had agreed to donate to the Iraqi army 120 Russian-made T-72 battle tanks. The decision was made during a meeting in Italy on Thursday night, between NATO officials and Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi, the statement said. .
