The Americans in Ishaqi

Graphic photographs show bodies of civilians killed in Ishaqi, Iraq

Photographs taken by Agence France Presse but not distributed by major US media outlets show the bodies of Iraqi civilians killed in March in a home in Ishaqi, Iraq.

According to Reuters' report on the incident, the 11 bodies of men, women and children, including a 75-year-old grandmother and a child under the age of one, were found bound in their blown-up home. All were shot in the head; the house was riddled with bullets. At the time, "The U.S. military said two women and a child died during the bid to seize an al Qaeda militant from a house."
