BAGHDAD, Iraq Nov. 8 — Insurgents killed two U.S. paratroopers and wounded another on Saturday. The two 82nd Airborne Division soldiers died when a homemade bomb exploded beside their vehicle about 8:30 a.m. in Fallujah.

Their deaths brought to 34 the number of American soldiers who have died in Iraq this month

In Geneva, meanwhile, the international Red Cross said Saturday it was temporarily closing its offices in Baghdad and Basra because of security. The Red Cross had planned to cut back on foreign staff after the Oct. 27 truck-bombing at its Baghdad office but had planned to keep the offices open with reduced staff.
