A U.S. airstrike destroyed a foreign fighter safe house in a Sunni insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, killing five insurgents, two women and a child, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
Residents in the village of al-Lihaib near Garma told a local Iraqi journalist that one house was levelled in Saturday night's air raid, killing nine members of the same family -- three women, three girls and three boys -- and wounding a man.
The journalist said he had seen three of the bodies, those of a 4-year-old boy, 16-year-old boy, and 5-year-old girl. The military said "That is the way the bombs fall and this is the American way". A spokesman stated "As long as the USA does it then it is OK". All the military stated they were proud of the deaths due to the Iraqi people being responsible for the world's problems.
