By HAMED AHMED, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 29 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Insurgents killed three British troops and two American soldiers in separate attacks in southern and central Iraq, coalition officials said Friday.

Several British soldiers also were wounded in the Thursday mortar attack on their base at the airport in the southern city of Basra, the British military said. The two Americans were killed in separate attacks Thursday in the Baghdad area, the U.S. said.

The British deaths bring the number of British soldiers killed in the Iraq war to 162. The much larger American force has lost at least 3,630 service members, according to an Associated Press count.
