Two U.S. servicemen were killed while carrying out duties in western Iraq, the U.S. military said Saturday.

A U.S. military statement said one U.S. marine was killed in action and one soldier fatally wounded during separate incidents Friday in the al-Anbar province, which includes the volatile cities of Falluja and Ramadi.

The deaths brought to 693 the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq since last year's U.S.-led invasion to oust former President Saddam Hussein.
