MOSUL, Iraq —Three soldiers are missing and it is feared they drowned Sunday afternoon in the Tigris River here.
The soldiers are all members of the Fort Lewis, Wash.-based Stryker Brigade, which had taken operational control of military operations in this northern Iraqi city only hours earlier.
In an unrelated incident late the same day, a Stryker armored vehicle mistakenly fired upon an Iraqi police vehicle, according to U.S. military police.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear, but the Stryker soldiers thought they had been fired upon. A third vehicle may have been involved in the gunfight. One Iraqi policeman died, two others were wounded.
