Bomber Likely in Iraqi Uniform,

The suicide bomber believed to have blown himself up in a crowded dining hall on a U.S. Army base in Mosul, killing 22 people, was probably wearing an Iraqi military uniform, U.S. officials said Thursday, offering the first indication of how such an attack could have taken place.

"What we think is likely, but certainly not certain, is that an individual in an Iraqi military uniform, possibly with a vest-worn explosive device, was inside the facility and detonated the facility, causing this tragedy," Brig. Gen. Carter F. Ham, the commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq (news - web sites), said in an interview on CNN.
