Iraqi civilians deaths part of war on terror: US military

by Bryan Pearson Sat Sep 29, 6:03 AM ET

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The US military Saturday put down to its "war on terror" the deaths of civilians in a series of airstrikes in Baghdad and southern belts this week that also killed a senior Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq.

"We regret when civilians are hurt or killed while coalition forces search to rid Iraq of terrorism," US military spokesman Major Brad Leighton told AFP.

Iraqi officials claimed that 13 civilians died in an air strike by US helicopters early Friday on a building in Baghdad's southwestern Dora district, a hotbed of Sunni insurgency.

Among the dead pulled from the rubble of a building in the Al-Saha neighbourhood of sprawling Dora were seven men, two women and four children, according to a medic at Baghdad's Al-Yarmuk hospital where the dead and injured were brought after the 2.00 am air strike.

Considering that there were no terrorists in Iraq before Bush's invasion, Iraqi civilians deaths part of Bush's illegal war on Iraq.

1. So our guys are over there committing terrorism in order to rid the country
of terrorism? I assume Al Qaeda's argument would be they are committing acts of terrorism in Iraq to get rid of the occupiers and their collaborators. And the poor Iraqi people are just caught in the middle of these two evil factions.
