U.S. helicopters bombed parts of the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City on Saturday. Local residents said the airstrikes killed at least one civilian and injured eight others. One of the U.S. rockets hit the home of an eight-year-old named Ruqaya Jabbar. She described what happened.

Ruqaya Jabbar: “We were asleep when they [U.S. forces] hit us. We were frightened, and we ran there, and they started to fire at us, wounding one here. They hit us with rockets. Why? What did we do? They destroyed the house. Why? We did nothing. We are poor people, and we were asleep.”
