Mistaken Identity: U.S. Military and FBI Apologize for Wrongful Detentions in Training Exercises.

The U.S. Army Special Operations Command has apologized to a Delta Air Lines pilot who was mistakenly detained during a training exercise at a Boston hotel. FBI agents were assisting the Department of Defense in conducting a mock raid when they were sent to the wrong room and detained the pilot. The man was handcuffed and interrogated before the agents realized their mistake. The U.S. Army Special Operations Command said the training was meant to enhance soldiers' skills to operate in realistic and unfamiliar circumstances. The FBI is reviewing the incident with the Department of Defense to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
