police
RAMADI, Iraq -
The deputy commander of the Iraqi army in western Al-Anbar province
was shot dead by US troops at a checkpoint Tuesday night, a police
officer said.
"The US forces opened fire at 8:00 pm (1700 GMT) on Brigadier General
Ismail Swayed al-Obeid, who had left his base in Baghdadi to head
home," police Captain Amin al-Hitti said.
"They spotted him on the road after the curfew, which goes into effect
at 6 pm," the officer said in Baghdadi, 185 kilometres (142 miles)
west of the capital.
No immediate reaction was available from the US military.

No wonder the Italians just announced they're leaving the coalition.
Too many recent friendly fire incidents by trigger-happy Americans.

Maybe this one was set up by insurgents.

Hopeless Harry had much rather believe the Iraqi police officer even
though the Iraqi may be part of the insurgents.

along in places.
