Nine US soldiers are reported to have died in a suicide bomb attack near an American military base in Diyala province in Iraq.
Twenty other American soldiers and an Iraqi civilian were wounded when a vehicle driven by the suicide bomber blew up, the US military said in a statement.
The attack came within hours of a separate roadside bomb attack in Dhi Qar province which wounded two Australian soldiers.
The Department of Defence says the soldiers were in the first of two Australian Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAVs) carrying out a routine patrol in Dhi Qar province when they were attacked.
