美国军方说，在巴格达的一个美军基地一名美军士兵开枪打死5名战友。军方官员说，被指控的攻击者目前在押。美国媒体报导的杀戮星期一发生在首都巴格达外围的美军自由营基地一个“压力诊所”。同是在星期一，伊拉克警方说，一名高级警官上午在巴格达开车时遭到枪手暗杀。
官方表示，在阿卜杜勒.侯赛因.穆赫森.卡德赫米(Kadhemi)开车通过巴格达市中心的时候，不明身份的枪手向他开枪。这是在最近几天针对高级警务人员的第二起攻击事件。上周六，一名伊拉克高级警官在南部城市巴士拉附近被开枪打死。
The U.S. military says an American soldier has killed five fellow soldiers at a U.S. base in Baghdad. Military officials say the alleged attacker is in custody. U.S. media report the killings took place Monday at a “stress clinic” at Camp Liberty, on the outskirts of the capitol. Also Monday, Iraqi police say a senior officer was assassinated in a drive-by shooting in Baghdad.
Officials say unknown gunmen shot Abdul Hussein Mohsen al-Kadhemi as he drove through the center of the capital. This is the second attack on a high-ranking police officer in recent days. On Saturday, an Iraqi police general was fatally shot near the southern city of Basra.
