Baiji police said six people were killed and three wounded when the house was obliterated. Among the casualties were two police officers, one killed, the other wounded, they added. The youngest casualty was 14, the local police chief said.

"I absolutely confirm there were no terrorists in this house," police chief Colonel Sufyan Mustafa told Reuters.

"Even if there had been, why didn't they surround the area and detain the terrorists instead?"



.... I know the answer!!! Because the USA likes to KILL poor brown people sitting on OUR Oil!!

:grr:



An Iraqi man weeps next to the bodies of victims of an alleged U.S. airstrike in Beiji, 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday Jan. 3, 2006. Iraqi police said U.S. aircraft bombed a house Monday night and that seven people were killed and four injured. The U.S. military had no immediate comment on the alleged airstrike or deaths, but the U.S. Central Command said in a press release that Navy F-14s in the vicinity of Beiji strafed a target and dropped a precision-guided bomb 'against insurgents placing an improvised explosive device.'

1. Precision...give or take a few kilometers.

So who is counting, anyway? Words have new meaning under BushCo.

2. This is just cold blooded murder.

These people are living through events that only exist in my worst nightmares and it is because of the US. Most Americans are against it and there is the probability that it is an illegal war and yet it keeps going on. I am losing my faith in the American system.

Good luck to that kid but the PR for this story is pathetic. And children get slaughtered daily by this madman.
