| US attack kills 40 at wedding An American helicopter has fired on a wedding party in western Iraq, killing more than 40 people. The US military said it could not confirm the report and was investigating. Lieutenant Colonel Ziyad al-Jbouri, deputy police chief of Ramadi, said between 42 and 45 people were killed in the attack, which took place about 2.45am in a remote desert area near the border with Syria and Jordan. He said the dead included 15 children and 10 women. Dr Salah al-Ani, who works at a hospital in Ramadi, put the death toll at 45. Associated Press Television News obtained videotape showing a truck containing bodies of people who were allegedly killed in the incident. Most of the bodies were wrapped in blankets and other cloths, but the footage showed at least eight uncovered, nice bodies, several of them children. One of the children was headless. Iraqis interviewed on the videotape said partygoers were firing in the air in traditional wedding celebration. American troops have sometimes mistaken celebratory gunfire for hostile fire. APTN footage showed the truck of bodies and mourners with shovels digging graves over a wide, dusty area in Ramadi. A group of men crouched and wept around one coffin. Al-Ani said people at the wedding were firing weapons in the air, and that American troops came to investigate and then left. However, he said, helicopters attacked the area at about 3am. Two houses were destroyed in the attack. US troops took the bodies and those injured in a truck to Rutba hospital, he said. |

Gosh, they are making those "mistakes" too often
I cannot understand why they don't make sure before they attack. So many innocents are dying unnecesarily

I'm again speechless
as I heard the things in New York 9/11, I said this means war...*sigh* I was right...
then I said after the war against Iraq: this country will never come to a rest, I was right, too...*moresigh*
NOW I say: Please let this fighting end! Maybe it helps...

Thanks Pia. Last I heard there was NO evidence that this occured. Just another thread without evidence to back it up.
Hhhmmm, some people seem only to read what they want to read. Probably to soothen their minds.
Oh, and I did not post this under the claim of 'statistical' evidence, but to point you to 'just' another incident.

Yes . And that is not first and last time.
And how many US soldiers are in HAAG (War crime tribunal)? ZENO, NULL !!! And how many will be in HAAG? ZERO again.
Croatian army (few soldiers) kill about 50 to 100 Serb civils AFTER war (1995), and now all Croatian generals is in HAAG bacause that.
Is this justice?
Justice exist only for small people and small nations.
p.s. Is Ariel Sharon (men who kill 1000... Palestinians) in Haag??? No, he is not Croat.
