Oops, There Goes Another Civiian Target

No, not in Gaza.

In Basra.

And not the Israel Air Force. But that of America.

An air strike in the southern Iraqi city of Basra has destroyed a house and killed at least one occupant.

The US military said a militant died, but would not confirm reports from Iraqi sources that up to six civilians may also have been killed.

The house is in a militia stronghold of which witnessed fierce clashes during a recent government crackdown in Basra.
