POSTED: 7:20 am EDT June 11, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraqi police said U.S. soldiers have mistakenly killed two security guards during a gun battle.
A military spokesman said the soldiers started shooting when a car came too close to an American armored patrol.
An American soldier in the lead vehicle of the convoy fired a warning shot to make the Iraqi vehicle move away, but its occupants returned fire on the convoy and sparked the gun battle.
In a separate attack in Baghdad, a suicide bomber dressed as a policeman blew himself up at the heavily guarded headquarters of a feared commando unit.
Five people have died from that attack.
Also, two Oil Ministry employees were shot and killed in a southern district of Baghdad.
