BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A Task Force
Baghdad platoon detained two local nationals at 1 a.m. March 16 in
east Baghdad.
The platoon was at a halt when it was approached by a vehicle
carrying two civilians. The platoon stopped the vehicle and
instructed the local nationals to get out; however, as the Task
Force Baghdad Soldiers approached, the two individuals jumped back
in the car and attempted to flee.
After the Soldiers fired a warning shot, the vehicle continued to
move. At that point, the platoon perceived the vehicle as being
hostile and fired into the cab of the vehicle, injuring one of the
occupants.
The two civilians were taken to a nearby U.S. military facility.
