In Iraq, the US military is being accused of killing an entire family in an attack on the town of Baquba Wednesday. The Pentagon says it killed eight “terrorists” who had fired at US troops. But family members and witnesses say the victims were a family of seven and a neighbor hiding in their home.

• Eye-witness Mohammed Hassan Hussein: “The U.S. forces were on foot patrol in the area. Armored vehicles arrived after them. They surrounded the house and started shooting on it, they remained inside the house for three hours. They killed all the people inside the house.”
