| Iraqi and Iranian soldiers trade fire on border |
| 2010-05-13 |
| Iraqi border guards exchanged fire with Iranian troops along the two countries' border Thursday, the first major incident between the two since Iran took over a disputed oil well in December. An Iraqi officer was captured by the Islamic Republic's forces in the 90-minute gunfight on the border with Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, which was apparently sparked when Iranian troops mistook Iraqi soldiers for a Kurdish rebel group. |
