AR RAMADI, Iraq, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Three U.S. Marines and one sailor were killed in Iraq's overwhelmingly Sunni Islamic Anbar Province Saturday, the U.S. military said.

The soldiers died from wounds sustained "due to enemy action," the independent Alsumaria Iraqi Satellite Network reported.

Neither the military nor the network offered other details.

The death toll brings to 80 the number of U.S. troops who have died in Iraq this month. With eight days remaining in December, the monthly total of U.S. deaths could meet or exceed the death toll of 105 in October.
