BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — A U.S. soldier in Baghdad opened fire on his fellow soldiers Monday, killing four American troops before killing himself, a senior defense official said.

Three others were wounded in the incident at the U.S. military base, Camp Liberty, in Baghdad, the official said.

The U.S. military issued a news release saying only that five coalition soldiers were killed Monday in a shooting at Camp Liberty.

The military did not give the soldiers’ nationalities or provide further details

Oh dear God. Another muslim soldier gone rogue? Remember the one that went in the tent back in 2003/04 and killed his fellow soldiers?

Nationalities? Wouldn't that be American. The first line says a "U.S. soldieropened fire" and killed "four American troups". Is the report trying to say there may have been soldiers from other nations at the scene, or that we don't know the race and/or religion of the shooter?
