Iraqi and Iranian soldiers trade fire on border
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.
