An unknown number of US troops escorting the convoy were among 10 to 12 people killed in the "friendly fire" incident, according to a BBC reporter who was some four metres (yards) away when the bomb fell.
PDK external relations official Hoshyar Zebari said, "There was firing and the American special forces asked for close air support, but unfortunately two aircraft bombed the joint forces."
"We have no exact figure of the number of dead, but there are many wounded," Zebari said, adding, "we are worried" about Barzani, 33.
