BLITZER: In Iraq, U.S. soldiers came under fire today in two attacks, one of them deadly. CNN's Arwa Damon is in Baghdad -- Arwa.</s>ARWA DAMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, a week after the U.S. military officially ended its combat role in Iraq, at least two U.S. soldiers were killed and other ten wounded in two separate attacks both in the same province, the deadliest and more disturbing happening on an Iraqi army military base where a U.S. captain had a meeting. The soldiers escorting him were waiting outside when they got into some sort of argument with an Iraqi army soldier. That's according to the spokesman for Iraq's minister of defense. The soldier pulled out his weapons and shot at the soldiers killing at least two Americans and wounding another nine. The other incident happening in Tikrit at the center of the city where a convoy came under grenade attack. The U.S. says that they shot and killed the attacker, but that one U.S. soldier was wounded and another three civilians were wounded as well when one of those grenades exploded. This is very much a reminder that even though operation Iraqi freedom, the combat mission may have come to an end, we may be entering the era of "Operation New Dawn" that is supposed to be seeing the Americans in a non-combat role, Iraq still very much remains a deadly battleground -- Wolf.
