Kurds say U.S. copter wrongly attacked them
August 27, 2007

A Kurdish security official said a U.S. helicopter attacked two Kurdish police outposts in Iraq on Sunday, killing four policemen and wounding eight. The U.S. military said it was investigating the report.

Jabar Yawer, spokesman for the Kurdish Peshmerga militia, said two police vehicles also were destroyed in the air strike 65 miles northeast of Baghdad. He said he believed the attack was a mistake.

"We demand American troops to give an explanation for the U.S. air strike against a police station," the Kurdish interior minister said in a statement. "The U.S. troops should take care to understand what troops are deployed in the border areas."

In Samarra, the U.S. military said it dropped a 500-pound precision bomb on a house Sunday after a group of 30 masked men who fought U.S. troops escaped into the structure.

City police and hospital officials said seven civilians, including five children, were killed.
