HeadlineNov 29, 2006

Five young Iraqi girls, including one infant, are among the latest victims of U.S. military operations in Iraq. The girls were killed Tuesday as they hid in a home in Ramadi. The U.S. military says troops targeted the home with tanks and machine guns after coming under fire from insurgents. They later discovered the girls’ bodies as well as that of a suspected insurgent believed to have run inside. Meanwhile, at least 24 people have been killed in violence today. At least two people were killed and several injured when a roadside bomb exploded near a bus station in Baghdad. In Baquba, two women were killed in a U.S. airstrike.
