Friendly Fire in Iraq

Saw over the weekend on BBC, Star News Asia and Australian news channels that American forces dropped a bomb on British troops in Iraq killing 3.

How come I didn't see it mentioned on CNN or FOX all weekend????

Aren't the American people entitled to know, or aren't they concerned when their troops take out their allies through friendly fire????

Do you have a link to the story?

I find it difficult to believe that you watched CNN and Fox news all weekend long
looking for this story.

Here is a URL to the story

I notice that Fox and CNN have the story on the net now also. Has anyone in the US seen this on the news over the last few days?

The CNN and FOX cable here supplies hourly news which is updated twice a day so you only need to check twicw a day to see if it made it into the latest news. Maybe it wasn't important enough.

The US news can be pretty spotty, they usually report things like that once or twice right as or right after they happen, and then they go right onto the web pages. I didn't see anything about it but I also wasn't watching much national news this week.
