6-19-04: Barbaric Criminal americans Kill More Innocent Women and Children With Airstrike - They Did It Because They Could

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A U.S. military plane fired missiles Saturday into a residential neighborhood in Fallujah, killing at least 20 and leveling houses in the restive Sunni Muslim city, police and residents said. The U.S. military declined comment.

Residents said at least 20 bodies were taken for burial soon afterward in the city's "martyrs' cemetery," in accordance with Islamic custom to bury dead quickly. At least three women and five children were among the dead.

"At 9:30 a.m., a U.S. plane shot two missiles on this residential area," said the Fallujah police chief, Sabbar al-Janabi, as he surveyed the wreckage. "Scores were killed and injured. This picture speaks for itself."

Rescue workers combed the scene looking for other victims. At least two houses were destroyed and six others were damaged in the poor residential area. Slabs of concrete and steel reinforcing bars were upended and twisted skyward in the damage, Associated Press Television News footage showed.

Water pooled from 20-foot crater in front of one of the destroyed houses, apparently from where one of the missiles struck. One man displayed several Qurans burned in the strikes.

Outraged residents accused the Americans of trying to inflict maximum damaged by firing two strikes -- one first to attack and another to kill the rescuers.

"The number of casualties is so high because after the first missile we jumped to rescue the victims," said Wissam Ali Hamad. "The second missile killed those trying to carry out the rescue."

U.S. Marines pulled back from Fallujah in late April after three weeks of fighting touched off when four American security contractors were killed in an ambush and their bodies mutilated.

Ten Marines and hundreds of Iraqis, many of them civilians, died before the siege was lifted and security was handed over to an Iraqi volunteer force, the Fallujah Brigade.

U.S. officials have said Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may be hiding in the city. Al-Zarqawi has been blamed for the string of car bombs across Iraq, including the Thursday that killed 35 people and wounded 145 at an Iraqi military recruiting center in Baghdad.
