Lee Thompson and eight other soldiers were killed by friendly fire from two United States Air Force A10 aircraft on Feb 27 1991. Thompson's parents have been unable to discover the facts about the accident and both the British and Americans deny responsibility. The incident happened in good visibility and the Warrior armoured transport was clearly marked. Sunblindness may have contributed.
