Doomed jet 'identified as missile'
UK Junior Defense Minister Ivor Caplin, publishing a summary of a Royal Air Force Board of Inquiry report, said that the U.S. Patriot missile battery had "misidentified" the Tornado as an enemy anti-radiation missile. The RAF Tornado GR4A was shot down near the Iraq-Kuwait border on March 23 last year, killing both crew.
