"Meanwhile, US troops have mistakenly killed three Iraqi policemen who were
manning a checkpoint near the northern city of Kirkuk.
The American patrol thought the police officers were insurgents staging an
ambush."

Go USA...

 

Mistakenly killed them.. they just wanted to have some fun and wound them as a
bit of a lark.

Lamia Abbas al-Chill was walking his son to school when gunmen on a
motorcycle opened fire and quickly retreated to their fortified clubhouse to
finish he paper R1 they had been working on.

 

In Iraq GPX250 riders spray you with bullets, here in OZ they spray you with
something else.

Even that supergun thingie the Iraqis were in the progress of building
back then had a bore of only 424mm. You couldn't even fit a minibike
into it without squishing the thing.
