G.I.'s Kill 2 Pakistani Soldiers

Pakistani military's public relations department said in a statement that American troops had fired on a Pakistani patrol at a border post in the Waziristan region, some 160 miles southwest of Islamabad, the capital. A Pakistani official said the American forces had mistaken the patrol for Qaeda or Taliban fighters. (AP)

Call me cynical but I suspect that the Pakistani soldiers in question may have had links to al Qaeda or Taliban fighters. "wrong place, wrong time" is certainly possible, but so is wearing two hats.
