4 Canadian Soldiers Killed By American Friendly Fire
From the Guardian UK.
Excerpt: "Four Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan last night after a US fighter jet mistakenly dropped one or two 500lb, laser-guided bombs on their unit.
Canadian officials said at least eight of their soldiers were wounded in the incident, which occurred during a well publicised live-fire training exercise near the southern town of Kandahar.

Navy commander Frank Merriman, spokesman for US central command in Tampa, Florida, confirmed that an air national guard F-16 dropped the bomb or bombs, but he had no idea what had caused the error."
