| Description | U.S. forces mistakenly fired on a civilian vehicle outside an American base in a city north of Baghdad on Monday, killing three people, including a child, the military said.
"It was one of these regrettable, tragic incidents, Warren said.
Dr. Ahmed Fouad of the city morgue and police officials gave a higher death toll, saying five people driving home from a relative's funeral had been killed, including three children.
The U.S. military said the differing toll may have been a result of a car bomb that targeted U.S. Humvees in the same area, killing five civilians and wounded 12 bystanders in the town of Kanan outside of Baqouba. The blast was the latest in a series of attacks that have killed more than 150 people in the last four days. |
