At least three US soldiers and an Iraqi guard have been killed in a mortar attack in Samarra, north of Baghdad.
A US military spokesman said up to 20 American soldiers were hurt in the attack which destroyed a building used by the US and Iraqi troops.
American troops responded with mortar fire after determining where the attack had originated, the US military said.
In a separate incident, a former Baath party official was killed when a booby-trapped car exploded in Baghdad.
The latest attacks came a day after insurgents killed at least two Iraqi guards in clashes in central Baghdad, and as the Iraqi interim government signed a tough new security law to combat the insurgency.
