May 27, 2007, 14:31 GMT
Baghdad - The Association of Muslim scholars, a top Sunni authority in Iraq, claimed Sunday that a US air-raid killed 10 Iraqis and wounded scores of others.
The association said in a statement that the raid targeted neighbourhoods in the western Baghdad suburbs and was accompanied by Iraqi security operations that led to the arrest of 40 people.
According to the association, which has levelled similar accusations against both the US and British army forces on Saturday, some children were among those killed.
The US military in Iraq could not be reached for comment.
In another development, eight US soldiers were killed in separate attacks in recent days, according to US-led coalition statements.
On Sunday, the US military said that one multinational Division- Baghdad soldier was killed and two others were wounded when an explosive device hit their patrol a day earlier. An Iraqi interpreter was injured in the same incident.
On Friday, three soldiers died of wounds sustained in an explosion that struck their patrol in the northern Salah al-Din province. On the same day, a marine was killed during operations in al-Anbar province.
Another soldier was killed and three more were wounded in what was termed 'a complex attack' against their military vehicle in Baghdad. Two soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle, and three were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military said on Monday that their forces detained 18 suspected militants during operations against the al- Qaeda in Iraq network in Baghdad, Mosul, 400 kilometres north of the capital, and Fallujah, 70 kilometres west.
The forces reportedly stormed into a meeting place for al-Qaeda operatives during one of their raids, and destroyed a weapons cache.

Would Jesus (peace be upom him) give a hungry person bread or shoot them? Is it Christ-like to kill people? Are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the actions of good Christians? Where in the Bible does Jesus advocate warfare?
My personal Savior Jesus Christ would truly shoot the hungry person if he was a Muslim, or non-white. He then would take the hungry person's belongings. Enslave his family. Rape his woman and daughters, and lastly sodomize his son.That is what my Jesus would do! Right Dick?
Must be a Catholic Jesus!
@DROP FOOD ON PEOPLE, NOT BOMBS!
'The hungry people of the world need not turn to the U.S., all American money is being used to kill people, not save lives.'
The USA gives more money to charity then any other country in the world. A recent report that 'per capita' the USA was not number 1 in giving did not take in to account private donations as well as governmental donations. Again the USA gives more money then any other country.
If you weren't so consumed with hate, savagery and jihad maybe you wouldn't need so much charity from the 'Occidentals'. Regardless, if you are too stupid to see that your behavior is EXACTLY the reason that the rest of humanity has left you behind why should it be someone else's responsibility to feed you? After all, as you have said yourself, your objective is subjugating us under your dark ages theology. Maybe you should ask Mohammad for charity.
' The Occidental nations have the resources to feed the world, teach and show the world how to feed itself,'
Try learning to live like humans and not like savage beasts and then we will talk about upping the amount of charity we give you. (Your allowance) Better yet, don't have so many children that you have no hope of providing for. Then you won't have to go crawling to the kafir that you despise to provide for them.
'The Occidental man, because of his originally living in socially repressed caves, in a colder climate and his inherent barbarism, has a propensity for violence and war. '
Then why are we rich and you are asking us for money to feed yourselves? Wouldn't that be 'humiliating' to ask such people for money?
'If the Occidental nations want to make friends with the peoples of the world, simply give them food and assistance; don’t drop bombs on them.'
Grow up, evolve, stop blaming everyone else for your stupidity and learn to feed yourselves. While you are at it, get out of the 'Occidental nation' you are in and go back to the cesspool that you came from. You are obviously living off Occidental charity since you couldn't be employed and still have so much time to post your effluence.

DROP FOOD ON PEOPLE, NOT BOMBS!May 27th, 2007 - 18:46:58
900 million people across the world are hungry, up from 880 million a year ago. Every day, approximately 18,000 children die from hunger-related causes…almost one child every four seconds. Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food. Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness. Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger daily are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets Occidental nations enjoy, such as soup kitchens, welfare, social services and job training programs. When a family that lives in a poor country cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help. The hungry people of the world need not turn to the U.S., all American money is being used to kill people, not save lives. The pro-Zionist U.S. Congress just approved another $100 billion to continue funding the neo-Crusader war to destroy Islam, steal the Iraqi oil, placate the Middle East for those racists in Israel, build pipelines to carry oil and natural gas from Central Asia thru Afghanistan and seize control of the Afghan heroin/opium drug trade until September 2007. To feed the 18,000 children who die each day for one Gregorian calendar year (365 days) at a rate of $50 daily would cost $328.5 million. The U.K. and the other devilish Coalition nations have invested vast amounts of money to kill Muslims. This is not taking into account the thousands of Materialists soldiers who have needlessly been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Surely their families regret sacrificing their loved ones upon the alter of imperialism. Perhaps even worse off than the dead are those who have been badly injured, maimed or driven to insanity, drug addiction and/or alcoholism by the horrors of war. They must live a bitter, angry, guilty and lonely life missing a limb, or with a tragically disfigured face. In madness they will eventually die, never reaping the spoils of war that they fought for. No, they were simply cannon-fodder for the pro-Zionist war profiteers. Everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan a Coalition soldier is wastefully dying, dozens injured. Nightly an American female soldier is raped by an U.S. military man in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each day scores of Iraqi and Afghani non-combatant civilians are murdered by Coalition forces. Many Iraqis are killed by bombs planted by the C.I.A. or the Mossad to ferment sectarian violence. The Occidental man will spend fortunes to kill rather than using their wealth and technology for benevolent purposes. The Occidental nations have the resources to feed the world, teach and show the world how to feed itself, and provide the world with the materials and technology to forever feed itself. But the Occidental nations have only gone around the world and raped and usurped the natural and human resources of peoples of color, be they black, brown, red, or yellow. The Occidental man, because of his originally living in socially repressed caves, in a colder climate and his inherent barbarism, has a propensity for violence and war. The Occidentals devilishly ignore the suffering of the poor peoples of the world and are driven only by avarice and hedonistic materialism. Islam is the only obstacle to the Occidental nations and their bastard child Israel from economic, military, and thusly, social control of the world. Hence, Islam must be destroyed and any manifestation of political Islam defeated. Christendom has embarked upon a foolhardy neo-Crusader war on Islam. But the devilish schemes of Occidentals will fail. Soon the Muslim freedom fighters will force the U.S./U.K. Coalition into a shameful and humiliating retreat. Soon the Crucifixer invaders will be expelled and the Islamic lands will be cleansed of the filth and perversion of the occupying minions of Satan. If the Occidental nations want to make friends with the peoples of the world, simply give them food and assistance; don’t drop bombs on them.
