BAGHDAD, Iraq -- An Iraqi military intelligence officer was slain in a drive-by shooting on Saturday south of Baghdad, police said.

Gunmen attacked 1st Lt. Hussein Jabir at 7:30 a.m. as he was leaving his home in downtown Diwaniyah, 80 miles south of Baghdad, police said.

Also Saturday, U.S.-led forces killed one person and detained nine other suspects in a raid on a militant hideout in Ramadi, west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

"Intelligence reports indicated terrorists with ties to the al-Qaida in Iraq network were operating in the targeted building," the military said in a statement.
