   The  U.S.  military  in Iraq says two American soldiers were killed in
   separate incidents in the country's north.
   A  statement  issued Saturday said one soldier died Friday near Mosul,
   about  370  kilometers north of Baghdad.  The statement gave no other
   details about how the soldier died.
   A  second  statement  said  a  U.S.  soldier died Thursday of injuries
   sustained  in a non-combat related incident.  The military says it is
   investigating both deaths.
   Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Kurdistan Workers' Party, also known as
   the PKK, said Turkish air strikes on Kurdish rebel targets in northern
   Iraq killed four rebels earlier this week. Â
   The spokesman Saturday said the air strikes also wounded five others.
