BAGHDAD, Aug 11: US soldiers in Baghdad on Saturday shot dead an Iraqi policeman they mistook for an attacker, killed another as he tried to surrender and beat a third, a survivor of the incident said on Monday.
The third official, Second Lieutenant Alaa Ali Saleh, 24, who was uniformed, was shot as he got out of the front passenger seat and held his hands in the air, holding his US-issued yellow police badge and shouting "police, police", said Muhsen.
"The second time he said it he was shot. He was hit by a machinegun that was firing at us right from the start of the incident," said Mr Muhsen, adding the incident took place outside a cement factory.
