'Friendly fire' probe into US soldiers' deaths
Three US soldiers who were gunned down during a three-hour firefight last week may have been killed by fire from their American comrades, US military officials in Iraq said.
The three 101st Airborne Division soldiers were part of an army company that was attacked by as many as 15 insurgents on January 8 in Iraq’s Salahuddin province north of Baghdad after the soldiers found several large caches of explosives.
