Gunman

A gunman was wearing an Iraqi army uniform. The gunman opened fire on a U.S. military team Saturday. The guman killed two American soldiers and injured three others. This was at a combat outpost in northern Iraq. That's what the military said. A military statement said the attacker was killed after the ambush 12 miles of Mosul. This is one of the last urban strongholds for Sunni insurgents. In the past, attackers have used military and police uniforms to pass checkpoints. They also went to heavily guarded bases. Iraqi military officials said the gunman was an Iraqi soldier who also served as a Sunni Muslim preacher for an army unit. The officials spoke on condition because they didn't have permission to speak to the media. The attack will likely make more worries about militant attack in Iraqi. It also could be one of the obvious cases of a member of Iraq's security. The Iraq's security forces was targeting U.S. troops. On Feb. 24, two Iraqi police officers in Mosul opened fire. This was on a visiting U.S. military team. The U.S. military team killed one American soldier and an interpreter. The gunmen is not found. It's kind of sad that the gunman killed two American soldiers for no reason.
