A Kurdish flag flies next to peshmerga fighters on the outskirts of Mosul in January. Kurdish fighters were involved in a friendly fire incident with US-led coalition forces on FridayGuardianWhat happened here? Were the Kurds in their ISIS role at the time of the shooting? Did these 4 get into some kind of gun fight with one another? Can any readers make sense of this incident? TheThe news sure lacks detail.
One member of the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State (Isis) militants in Syria and Iraq was killed and three were wounded in a friendly fire incident with Kurdish forces in northern Iraq, the US military said on Saturday.
This incident took place right in Kurdish territory.
It said in a statement that the incident happened on Friday while the four were conducting an “advise and assist” mission. All four were transported to a medical facility, where one died of wounds. The statement added the incident was under investigation and gave no information about the nationalities of the casualties.
