Us Troops Killed by Iraqi Soldier

Summary


An Iraqi soldier opened fire on a US military team at the weekend, killing two American soldiers and wounding three, said the US military. The attack could worsen fears about the extent of militant infiltration in Iraq's security forces. Iraqi officials described the attacker - who was killed in the exchange - as a soldier who also served as a Sunni Muslim preacher for his unit near Mosul, one of the last urban strongholds for Sunni insurgents. Such an ambush could increase pressure on the Shiite-led government to try to root out possible turncoats and slow efforts to bring Sunni militiamen into the police and military as rewards for helping battle al Qaida in Iraq and other insurgent factions.
