They were killed by two Iraqis who were supposedly working with us.

Thats right .... and not only that,
Iraqi forces who had trained with the Americans had fired at them twice before the incident that killed Patrick McCaffrey, and he had reported it to his superiors, she said.

"They were killed by two Iraqis who were supposedly working with us."

I don't think that's correct. I think the two you are referring to were killed in 2004. Going to double-check.

I think you are confusing two separate incidents. an investigation of an earlier event where two servicemen were killed supposedly by ambush has uncovered their murder by Iraqi troops they had trained.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Two California soldiers shot to death in Iraq were murdered by Iraqi civil-defense officers patrolling with them, military investigators have found.

The deaths of Army Spc. Patrick R. McCaffrey Sr. and 1st Lt. Andre D. Tyson were originally attributed to an ambush during a patrol near Balad, Iraq, on June 22, 2004.

But the Army's Criminal Investigation Command found that one or more of the Iraqis attached to the American soldiers on patrol fired at them, a military official said Tuesday.

June 20, 2006. See my link in above post for the whole story
