Iraqi General's killing called "strange"

I don't know exactly what to make of this at this point, this is about the same Iraqi general who was referred to as "critical" this morning, but the reports are starting to sound like an inside assassination.

"It is a very strange incident and raises many questions," an official in the Defense Ministry press service said on Tuesday after the commander of all Iraqi troops in Baghdad died from a bullet to the head while in a patrol convoy on Monday.

Another Iraqi general told Reuters it was an assassination that needed inside information and proved the army, recruited by U.S. officers over the past two years, had been infiltrated by factional militia groups ready to turn on fellow soldiers.

Which White House talking head was it who kept telling me it wasn't a civil war because the army wasn't turning on itself?
