US Air Force helicopter by mistake shot a convoy of Iraqi security forces




According to him, the head of the local police, as well as the head of the administration, who were going to meet with the sheikh of the local tribe, came under fire.

At the same time, the command of the united antiterrorist forces of Iraq stated that a special operation was being conducted in the area to capture the terrorist, which was supported from the air by the forces of the international coalition. Already when it was completed, a grenade was thrown from a neighboring house to the security forces, after which a clash occurred.

On the way back, the military noticed a cluster of armed people from helicopters, “whose location was not agreed upon in advance,” and opened fire on them.

The unified command has commissioned an investigation of what happened.

          under fire came the head of the local police, as well as the head of the administration, who were sent to meet with a sheikh of the local tribe.

              What kind of "mistake" are you talking about?
              The Americans said bluntly that they did everything right. A military operation was underway in that area, armed people were found whose whereabouts were not agreed upon, and they shied away. So that NO ERRORS. Pilots are also encouraged for the right actions. And of course, no apologies to the Iraqis, in the worst case, express condolences.

    Hundred % . Apparently the Iraqis pressed not those whom they should have got and so to speak for educational purposes.

Then - pleased ... And now so-so, rather weak ...
