A soldier was killed Tuesday when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle in Salahuddin province, northwest of the capital. A second soldier was injured.
Violence continued in the capital, where police found 28 bodies over a 24-hour period.
A roadside bomb exploded at a square in central Baghdad, killing one civilian and injuring three, an Information Ministry official said.
For the second time in a week, a gunfight erupted at the Shiite-run Health Ministry after it was attacked by mortar and missile fire. Last Thursday, when more than 200 civilians were killed by a series of attacks in the slum of Sadr City, hundreds of employees were trapped in their offices for hours until Iraqi and U.S. forces rescued them.
"It is just the usual daily shooting at the ministry, but today it has just increased a bit," said Qasim Yahya, the Health Ministry spokesman.
He said that guards at the ministry battled the gunmen but that once again Iraqi troops were there to rescue them.
"If we shoot a bullet, we will be shot with 10," he said.
Special correspondent Saad al-Izzi contributed to this report.
