THIS SUCKS:

FALLUJAH, Iraq – U.S. soldiers mistakenly opened fire Friday on Iraqi police officers chasing highway bandits near an American checkpoint in a small town west of Fallujah, witnesses said. The U.S. military in Baghdad said it had no information on the incident.

No doubt we’ll hear more about this as the situation develops.

UPDATE: James Rummel has more on how this happened — lack of insignia seems to be a problem. Ship over some police cars!
