Canada body-parts murder victim identified
BAGHDAD, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A U.S. soldier was among three people killed Tuesday during a skirmish with suspected al-Qaida in Iraq militants near Mosul in northern Iraq, officials said.
Also killed were an Iraqi police officer and an al-Qaida in Iraq member, CNN reported.
The battle began when U.S. soldiers and Iraqi police surrounded the home after a family reported a man wearing suicide vest had entered their house, the military said. U.S. forces called for an airstrike, which destroyed the home and killed the insurgent.
Also Tuesday, five people were injured in blasts near the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and a parking lot near the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraqi police told KUNA, the Kuwaiti news agency.
