BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says a gunman wearing an Iraqi army uniform has killed two American soldiers in northern Iraq.
A military statement says the Americans were among a group of U.S. soldiers meeting with Iraqi security forces today at an Iraqi army compound near the city of Tuz Khormato, about 130 miles north of Baghdad.
They were the first U.S. military deaths since President Barack Obama declared an end to combat operations on Aug. 31.
