Khalaf ran from his own house and hid in a nearby grove of trees. He saw the
soldiers enter his brother’s home and then heard the sound of women and
children screaming.
“Then there was a lot of machinegun fire,” he said last week. After that there
was the most frightening sound of all — silence, followed by explosions as the
soldiers left the house.
According to Iraqi police, 11 bodies were pulled from the wreckage of the
house, among them four women and five children aged between six months and
five years. An official police report obtained by a US reporter for Knight
Ridder newspapers said: “The American forces gathered the family members in
one room and executed 11 people.”
======================================================
In the same incident, eyewitnesses say, one man bled to death over a period of
hours as soldiers ignored his pleas for help.
American military officials in Iraq have already admitted that 15 civilians
who died in the incident in the western town of Haditha last November were
killed by Marines, and not by a roadside bomb, as had previously been claimed.
