News from the 'other' side - an Arab perspective. Video dubbed in English

A bomb that killed six civilians Monday near Baiji, Iraq, missed its target by 65 feet (20 meters) and hit the wrong home, military officials said.

The bomb, which was dropped by a U.S. fighter plane, was aimed at a building that three men entered after planting a roadside bomb as an unmanned surveillance plane watched from overhead, the officials said.

A U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter jet strafed the building before the bomb was dropped, according to a U.S. military statement released after the nighttime attack.

The bomb had "successful effects against the insurgents," the statement added.

What was successful about it?

Can someone tell me? Here's footage of the carnage from Syrian Television (Dubbed in English). In Flash 8 video. It's not gore. It's a news clip.
