The drama took place at the military air base of the Iraqi city in the north of the country. Soldiers of the 11 Airmobile Brigade guard the base there and secure convoys. Defense only wants to say that an unintentional shot went off during weapons maintenance and that one soldier was taken to a hospital in the capital Baghdad in critical condition. The victim was hit by a colleague at the camp itself, the Marechaussee now says. A team of seven detectives will now investigate what exactly went wrong. Two of them are going to secure tracks, the other five are going to record statements from those involved.
