HeadlineFeb 26, 2007

The U.S. military is being accused of killing 26 people, including women and children, in the Iraqi city of Ramadi last week. A U.S. airstrike demolished at least one home. Video shot by the Reuters news agency shows bodies buried in the rubble. Local residents carried the bodies away from the demolished house in blankets. One Iraqi said an infant died in the bombing.

Ramadi resident: “It is a poor house, I swear to God. I swear to God that this is an infant, and he is only one month old. Hey, film this infant who is only one month old. And his brother was also killed, They were more than 10 members of the same family. They were 13 members of one family.”

The U.S. military has announced it is investigating the bombing.
