-- A U.S. soldier opened fire on soldiers at Camp Liberty in Baghdad, killing four and wounding three before killing himself, U.S. military officials said.
Military officials did not provide other details about the incident at the military base near the Baghdad airport, CNN reported.
CNN reported the troops killed were from the United States, but nationalities of the wounded soldiers were unknown. However, a Camp Liberty spokesman only said all of the dead and wounded were coalition members and would not confirm anyone's nationality.
Also on Monday, gunmen killed a senior Iraqi police official who was traveling to work in Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said. Officials said two vehicles intercepted then fired on the car carrying Brig. Gen. Abdul Hussain Kadhim, attached to the traffic police, to work, CNN reported.
Elsewhere, police told the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA they discovered the bodies of three Iraqi citizens in the Tarmiya district of Saladin province. The three people were kidnapped several days ago.
The attack on Kadhim is the second in two days on traffic police, officials said. On Sunday, a roadside bomb struck a convoy with Gen. Jaafar Toma, traffic police director general, who walked away unharmed. Four members of his security detail were wounded.
