The BBC has uncovered
new video evidence that US forces may have been responsible for the
deliberate killing of 11 innocent Iraqi civilians. The video appears to
challenge the US military's account of events that took place in the town of
Ishaqi in March. The US said at the time four people died during a military
operation, but Iraqi police claimed that US troops had deliberately shot the
11 people. A spokesman for US forces in Iraq told the BBC an inquiry was
under way. [
A] report filed by Iraqi police accused US troops of rounding
up and deliberately shooting 11 people in the house, including five children
and four women, before blowing up the building. The video tape obtained by
the BBC shows a number of dead adults and children at the site with what our
world affairs editor John Simpson says were clearly gunshot wounds. [
