At Least Six Iraqi Civilians killed in U.S. Air Strike

HeadlineOct 24, 2007

In Iraq, at least six civilians are among as many as 14 dead in a U.S. air strike north of Baghdad.

Unidentified resident: “Farmers were watering plants when planes attacked them. A wounded man was brought to the house, and a large group of people gathered to see. There were a large number of people, and I was one of them, when the Americans fired a missile on us. I was standing outside the house. Twelve or 13 people were killed, and nine others were wounded.”

The deaths follow two other lethal U.S. attacks on Iraqi civilians this month. At least 13 civilians, including two toddlers, died in a U.S. raid on Sadr City this weekend. And earlier this month, at least nine children and six women were killed in a U.S. attack northwest of Baghdad.
