Coalition forces issued a statement saying that "an immediate preliminary investigation" showed that al-Sheikh's vehicle left a long line of traffic, crossed a median and drove toward the checkpoint from the opposite traffic lane.

After the assemblyman parked, American soldiers trying to defuse a verbal and physical altercation between al-Sheikh and an interpreter supporting coalition forces separated the two and held onto al-Sheikh "momentarily," the statement read.

Brig. Gen. Karl R. Horst, deputy commander for maneuver, MND-Baghdad, said the military regrets the incident.
