Fragging was generally a means of changing commanding officers by soldiers expressing their dissatisfaction with leadership. It didn't involve collaboration with the enemy, or enemy participation. This sounds more like an enemy attack than an expression of low morale. Apparently, one of the enemy might have been an American soldier.If I recall, I think that most Fraggings involved non-fatal injuries. But you're right, they were designed to remove an undesirable officer.

Its mutiny and assault on a superior officer in time of war, both of which can result in death by, hopefully, hanging.
