The U.S. military is being accused of killing at least 30 civilians in a raid on the western Iraqi town of Ramadi. The dead are believed to include women and children. Witnesses told the Reuters news agency several bodies were left lying in the street. The Los Angeles Times reports at least 15 homes were destroyed.

Unidentified Ramadi resident: “Huge crimes happened at night, huge crimes (targeting) people inside their shops. They only sell and buy, they are neither resistance nor terrorists. They are not from all these things. These bodies, 25 bodies, committed no serious crime or guilt.”

Doctors say the number of dead increased because U.S. roadblocks made it difficult to reach the victims. The Pentagon has not commented on the attack.
