Abstract

The article reports on the killing of Iraqi civilians in an American airstrike in the Abu Dshir district in Iraq, on September 27, 2007. It is said that some people were playing a traditional Ramadan game in the evening. Two U.S. helicopters appeared in the sky and fired rockets on the crowd and then the helicopters' machine guns began shooting at the fleeing crowd. This resulted in the killing of at least seven Iraqis. The U.S. military, however, has refuted the charge.
