THREE Iraqi policemen, mistakenly taken for guerrillas, were killed
overnight by US troops near Salman Pak south of the northern Iraqi
city of Kirkuk, an Iraqi policeman said.
"The police had a roadblock on the road linking Kirkuk and Baghdad. An
American patrol arrived around 2am (10am) and opened fire, taking the
police to be guerrillas," said Second Lieutenant Salam Zankana.
The three dead men were named as Ahmed Hussein, Abdelrahman Saleh and
Saqr Naji Hussein.
The US army told AFP it was investigating the incident.

They were terrorists who stole those iraqi policy uniforms.
We took them out. They no longer will masquerade as iraqi
police.
