US Probes ’friendly Fire’ DeathsTWO US soldiers killed in Iraq in February may have been killed by "friendly fire" rather than by enemy shooters as initially reported, the US Army says. Specialist Alan McPeek and Private Matthew Zeimer were killed on February 2 while fighting in Iraqs Anbar province. Initially, the soldiers families were told the men had been killed while fighting enemy forces. The families were not told until March 31 that the soldiers might have been killed by friendly fire, a US Army statement said. "Following the initial report, additional analysis indicated the possibility that the two soldiers killed in action were killed as a result of friendly fire," the statement said. The army is now investigating whether the soldiers were killed by American fire. The case is reminiscent of the death of US Army ranger and former professional football star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan in April 2004. The army initially told Corporal Tillmans family that he was killed by enemy fire and did not change that account until a month later, even though officers knew quickly that he was probably killed by American troops, the Pentagons acting inspector-general said last month.
