BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers accidentally killed three policemen and wounded another in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk on Wednesday, the U.S. military said.

U.S. forces fired on the policemen when their vehicle drove at high speed into a cordoned-off area in the province, 250 km (155 miles) north of Baghdad, the military said.

"Coalition forces make every effort to engage only hostile threats and we sincerely regret when a tragic accident like this occurs," a military spokeswoman, Specialist Megan Burmeister, said in a statement.
