Collateral Damage

Yesterday, I commented on the increasing use of air strikes in Iraq. Today, we see some of the results:

A US air attack has killed 14 members of one family in the oil-refining town of Baiji in northern Iraq.

An Iraqi security force spokesman for the Joint Coordination Centre, which handles information and is a liaison between US and Iraqi forces, said that the Tuesday air raid destroyed one house, killing the people inside. Another four houses were hit and three people were wounded in the raid on Monday night, he said.
