Suspected insurgents killed a brigadier general as he drove to work at the Ministry of Defense in Baghdad on Thursday, police said.

The attackers opened fire from two cars at a vehicle carrying Brig. Gen. Iyad Imad Mahdi in the Jihad neighborhood of western Baghdad at 6:45 a.m., said police Capt. Hamid Hussain.

No other information was immediately available.

Insurgents often target Iraqi officials and security forces in drive-by shootings and attacks with roadside bombs and suicide car bombs.
