Iraq: U.S. Missile Kills 58 in Baghdad Unfortunately, too much was made of the precision of American missiles. The fact is they're firing into a city of 5 million. There will be a lot more casualties before all is said and done. What really concerns me are the Syrias and Irans messing around. ted

Iraq: U.S. Missile Kills 58 in Baghdad I was wondering -- did AP report on the Saddam military cutting down civilians walking across the bridge today with a machine gun, when merely in search of food and water?

U.S.: Baghdad market hit by Iraqi missile Officials unsure whether mishap accident or deliberate attack Posted: March 27, 2003 10:35 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com U.S. Central Command suspects an Iraqi missile is to blame for the deadly strike on a crowded Baghdad market that reportedly killed 14 people and sparked accusations the U.S was targeting civilians. As WorldNetDaily reported, an errant missile slammed into a row of buildings, which house shops on the ground floor and residential apartments above, in the northern neighborhood of Al-Shaab yesterday. Associated Press Television News footage showed a large crater in the street, a smoldering building, burned out cars and bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting in the back of a pickup truck. An angry crowd of several hundred people gathered in the area shouting, "Down with Bush" and "Long live Saddam." After preliminary investigation, officials at Central Command yesterday ruled out an errant coalition airstrike as the cause. "Coalition air forces did not target the market, nor were any bombs or missiles dropped in the Shaab district," said Maj. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, vice director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Today at a press briefing from the headquarters in Doha, Qatar, Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks reitterated there was no coalition air mission in the area and said the current line of thinking is the missile was an Iraqi weapon. Brooks explained that there was an Iraqi missile battery nearby that was firing surface-to-air missiles at coalition forces. He said Iraqis use old missile stocks, which can be unreliable, and were firing them without the use of radar in order to avoid detection by coalition forces. "We think it's entirely possible that this may have been in fact an Iraqi missile that either went up and came down or, given the behaviors of the regime lately, this may have been a deliberate attack," he said. worldnetdaily.com
