A new BBC report which purports to show images from a second unprovoked slaughter by American military forces in Iraq also asserts that the US military is investigating as many as two more such incidents, RAW STORY can report. A close examiniation of the video revealed a reference to several other investigations into Iraqi killings.
TRANSCRIPT:
BBC REPORTER: American military sources say this is one of three or four cases they’re investigating. Their line is quite clear.
MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM CALDWELL, US SPOKESMAN: “The coalition does not and it will not tolerate any unethical or criminal behavior. Any allegations of such activities will be fully investigated and any members found to have committed these violations will be held accountable.”
BBC REPORTER: Still, Iraqi civilians are killed with great frequency. Yesterday in Samarra, American soldiers shot and killed a heavily pregnant woman and her mother. She’d gone into labor and was being rushed to hospital by car. The driver got in the wrong lane at a checkpoint

U.S. accused in more Iraq civilian deaths
A third set of allegations that U.S. troops have deliberately killed civilians is fueling a furor in Iraq and drawing strong condemnations from government and human rights official. "It looks like the killing of Iraqi civilians is becoming a daily phenomenon," the chairman of the Iraqi Human Rights Association, Muayed al-Anbaki, said Friday after video ran on television of children and adults slain in a raid in Ishaqi in March.
