BAGHDAD — Two American servicemen were killed Tuesday after a gunman in an Iraqi army uniform opened fire while they were distributing humanitarian aid in northern Iraq, the U.S. military said.
It was the third such shooting in the Mosul area in less than a year purportedly involving Iraqi soldiers, raising concerns about infiltration of the Iraqi security forces in one of the most dangerous areas in Iraq.
The shooter opened fire from about 50-100 yards away and it was not immediately clear if he was an Iraqi soldier or an insurgent in disguise, a senior U.S. military official said.
