- In a friendly fire incident, an American F-16 fired on a U.S. Patriot
missile battery in Iraq after the battery's radar locked on the plane,
the U.S. Central Command said Tuesday. No U.S. casualties were reported.
-
- It was the second such incident involving Patriot batteries
apparently failing to distinguish between friendly and hostile targets.
-
- On Saturday, a U.S. Patriot battery shot down a Royal
Air Force Tornado GR4 near the Kuwaiti border, killing the two crew members.
