The U.S. military says it is investigating an American airstrike that may have inadvertently killed Iraqi soldiers near the city of Fallujah.

In a brief statement, U.S. Central Command said that one of several airstrikes it conducted Friday against Islamic State targets may have resulted in the death of Iraqi soldiers. It did not say how many may have been killed, but officials said the Iraqis initially reported that about 10 may have died.


I've read Iraq is pretty ticked off and investigating it too
