A U.S. airstrike targeting an alleged militant safehouse in Fallujah killed some 17 people including three children, according to doctors and accounts from the scene of the blast, and angry crowds gathered to mourn the victims and denounce the United States.
"There is only one God, Allah!" crowds chanted at the Fallujah General Hospital, where the bombing casualties were brought before dawn Thursday. A blanket filled with body parts could be seen lying on the ground, while relatives loaded corpses into the back of a pickup truck for burial.
"It is because of the Americans," one man shouted.
Jun 19 - US forces fired missiles at a house in Fallujah Saturday, killing 22 people, including women and children, according to witnesses and an Iraqi cemetery worker. Fallujah residents said the house was flattened and three others nearby were damaged after being hit by two missiles fired from a US plane. "An American plane hit this house and three others were damaged. Only body parts are left," a witness said, as rescuers dug through the rubble of the shattered house for survivors. Ahmed Hassan, a local cemetery worker said, "They brought us 22 corpses, children, women and youth." The US military’s chief spokesperson in Iraq, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, told reporters the bombing was a "precision strike" on a safehouse used by fighters loyal to Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian man the US accuses of organizing a series of recent car bombings in Iraq. The military acknowledges, however, that there is no evidence that Zarqawi himself was in the house when it was hit.
