70 die in US aerial attack in Iraq
Nearly 70 Iraqi resistance fighters were killed in aerial bombardments by US jet fighters on Sunday near the town of Ramadi in western Iraq, a US military statement reported.
The report said that some 20 men were killed by a US precision-guided bomb when they supposedly attempted to lay a roadside bomb east of Ramadi. Another 50 were killed in and around the city by an assortment of US aircraft attacks, including jet fighters and helicopters.
US sources stated that there were no civilian casualties as a result of the incident, although various other reports that I have read suggest otherwise.
