US air strike kills 13 in Iraq: medics
1 hour, 19 minutes ago
BAGHDAD (AFP) - At least 13 people were killed in an air assault by US forces in Iraq's restive city of Ramadi, just an hour after a suicide bomber killed nine people outside a Baghdad courthouse.
"US planes bombed a house in the Aziziyah area of Ramadi city centre, killing 13 civilians," Ali al-Obeidi, a medic at the Ramadi hospital told AFP, adding that four people were wounded.
The US military confirmed it had conducted the assault but did not immediately give further information.
Last month, US marines were involved in a fierce firefight with rebels who attacked the government headquarters in Ramadi with car bombs, rockets and machine guns.
