AF shot down own Bell 212 in mistaken identity attack

[22-10-2007 1.40pm 4th lead]

Mistaken identity had reportedly led to the Air Force shooting down its own Bell 212 helicopter during the ** air and ground attack on the Saliyapura Air Force Base in Anuradhapura today (Oct. 22nd).

The helicopter left the airbase to provide backup support as Black Tigers launched the ground assault at around 3.30 am.

Mistaking it for an Air Tiger plane, the military had shot it down at Doramadawala, Mihintale, reliable Air Force sources said.

An investigation is underway into the incident.
