ナジャフの南30マイルほどの地点で、米軍F16が自軍のパトリオット・ミサイル部隊を爆撃。偶発的な事故によるもので、死傷は無し。------とのこと。
やはりハイテクゆえの誤作動なのか、友軍に対する誤爆が目立つ。

F-16 Fires on Own Patriot Launcher, No One Hurt
Tue March 25, 2003 11:22 AM ET
AS SAYLIYA CAMP, Qatar (Reuters) - A U.S. F-16 fighter plane accidentally fired on a Patriot missile battery in southern Iraq, a spokeswoman at Central Command forward headquarters in Qatar said on Tuesday.
There were no casualties in the incident which took place on Monday some 30 miles south of Najaf.
"During combat air operations...Monday a U.S. F-16 fighter engaged a U.S. Patriot battery approximately 30 miles south of An Najaf," Central Command said in a statement.
"The F-16 pilot executed the strike against the Patriot while en route to a mission near Baghdad...No soldiers were injured or killed by the strike," it said, adding that an investigation into the incident was under way.
It was the second friendly fire incident involving a Patriot since the war in Iraq started last week. In the first, a British Tornado was shot down by a U.S. Patriot missile as it returned to base. The two man crew is reported as missing, believed dead.
