US troops mistakenly shot dead three Iraqi soldiers during a raid in Dolouiya, 80 km north of Baghdad Saturday.

The American forces mistook the three approaching Iraqi armed personnel as insurgents and shot them dead.

The three soldiers were deployed to guard the house of an Iraqi army general near the spot where the US soldiers were conducting a raid.
