Iraqi civilian casualties mount


Razek al-Kazem al-Khafaji's family was in the line of fire
At least 11 members of the same family - mostly children - have been killed in a coalition air strike on a residential district in central Iraq, western news reports say.
Hospital sources in Hilla, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Baghdad, said they were among 33 civilians killed and more than 300 injured in the attack early on Tuesday morning.

US Central Command said preliminary investigation had not "turned up any evidence of this alleged incident", but officials were continuing to look into it.(yes sure they are-max)

On Monday, US soldiers killed seven Iraqi women and children at a checkpoint near the southern city of Najaf.

US commanders are also investigating the Najaf killing, but their first reaction was to back the troops. (that's a surprise--max)

Correspondents say the incidents will increase criticism of US-led troops who are continuing their advance towards Baghdad, in the face of stiff Iraqi resistance.
