BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber wearing an Iraqi military uniform struck a U.S. military delegation visiting the mayor of violence-wracked Baqouba on Monday, injuring at least eight American soldiers and nine others.

It was not immediately clear whether the attacker was a member of the Iraqi military or in disguise, but U.S. forces have faced both types of assaults.

Bombers have used police and military uniforms to clear checkpoints in the past. In February, two police officers opened fire on U.S. soldiers in the northern city of Mosul, killing one soldier and raising worries about insurgent infiltration in security forces.
