BAGHDAD, Iraq // A group affiliated with al-Qaida in Iraq said yesterday that it had kidnapped two American soldiers who are being searched for by thousands of U.S. and Iraqi troops in an area known as "the triangle of death."

Seven other U.S. soldiers were wounded during the search, the top military spokesman in Baghdad said. Details weren't immediately announced.

More than 8,000 American and Iraqi security personnel were looking for the soldiers, who disappeared Friday. Three teams of divers searched the nearby Euphrates River. The military used planes, boats, helicopters and unmanned drones "to ensure the most thorough search possible on the ground, in the air and in the water," Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV said. "We are using every means at our disposal."
