45 Iraqi Civilians Reported Killed in U.S. Strike

HeadlineFeb 09, 2007

In Iraq, the U.S. military is facing allegations of killing 45 Iraqi civilians in an airstrike near Amiriyah. Police and hospital officials say the bombings flattened four homes in the village of Zaidan just south of Abu Ghraib — killing women, children and the elderly. A photograph released by the Associated Press shows the body of a boy in the back of a pickup truck taken to the nearby Fallujah hospital. Several other children were reportedly admitted with injuries. The U.S. military denies the account and says 13 insurgents were killed.
