Associated Press  |  June 21, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO - Two California Soldiers shot to death in Iraq were murdered by Iraqi civil-defense officers patrolling with them, military investigators have found.

The deaths of Army Specialist Patrick R. McCaffrey Sr. and First Lieutenant Andre D. Tyson were originally attributed to an ambush during a patrol near Balad, Iraq, on June 22, 2004.

But the Army's Criminal Investigation Command found that one or more of the Iraqis attached to the American Soldiers on patrol fired at them, a military official said.

A Pentagon spokesman knew of no other similar incident, calling it "extremely rare."

The Army has conducted an extensive investigation into the deaths but declined to provide details out of respect for relatives of the Soldiers, spokesman Paul Boyce said.

It was unclear whether the investigators had established a motive or arrested any suspects.
