Three F-35 Joint Strike Fighters AF-2 AF-3 and AF-4 flies over Edwards Air Force Base in this
The apparent friendly-fire incident is being investigated by Iraqi and American officials in Baghdad but it has provoked some anger among critics of the United States who have always been suspicious or hostile to the USA military's involvement in the fight against the Islamic State.
Iraq's joint operations command, the umbrella for Iraq's military, police and militia forces, said that before dawn a team of Iraqi troops was executing a search in the Anbar province town of al-Baghdadi for a man with links to Islamic State.
US forces are stationed at the Ain al-Assad base in al-Baghdadi district for providing support to Iraqi forces fighting the Daesh terrorist group.
Despite the government's declaration of victory over IS last month, the jihadists remain active underground in several regions of Iraq, particularly along the Euphrates Valley and in the vast desert to its west.
The Joint Operations Command said they had opened an investigation into the incident and would release further information soon.
It said it had requested "air support from the global coalition".

"Any and all support comes at request/approval of Iraq; NO unilateral coalition operations in Iraq", said the spokesman, U.S. Army Colonel Ryan Dillon, in a tweet.
The friendly fire incident drew swift criticism of the United States military presence in Iraq from pro-Iranian figures in Baghdad.
Alsumaria said the head of the al-Baghdadi township and its police chief were among the wounded and were in serious condition.
Populist Shiite militia leader Moqtada Sadr, who led repeated uprisings against coalition troops during the US-led occupation that followed the 2003 invasion, demanded immediate action against those responsible for the strike.
