BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Two U.S. soldiers from the Stryker Brigade were killed Saturday, one in a mortar attack and another in an "electrical accident," the U.S. command said.

One other American soldier from the Army's Task Force Olympia was wounded during the mortar attack, which took place on a coalition base in the northern city of Mosul, the command said in a statement.

Earlier Saturday, the command reported the death of the Stryker Brigade soldier in the electrical accident, also in the Mosul area, but gave no further details.

The Stryker Brigade, part of the Fort Lewis, Wash.-based 2nd Infantry Division, takes its name from an armored vehicle used by the command.
