elderly couple and their daughter in front of their house at dawn, after
troops had withdrawn from the area. All three bodies had gunshot wounds to
the head, the witnesses said. […] ‘It is always unfortunate when civilians
are hurt or killed during operations to rid Iraq of terrorism,’ the U.S.
military said in a statement. […]” Excerpt
