Iraqi Police accused the US troops of a "clear and perfect
crime" saying that they killed an entire family of 11,
including 5 children and 4 women, when a patrol came under
attack leading to the death of one of the members at Ishaqi.
The house was later blown up to conceal the killing. The
Time Magazine reported the killing of civilians in Haditha
in November when a patrol went on a rampage after a member
was killed by a roadside bomb. The US Army says that only 4
people were killed in Ishaqi and said it has launched an
investigation. Iraqi population and analysts accuse the US
Army of doing little and not disciplining its soldiers for
blatant human rights violations. Even in cases where
disciplinary action is initiated, they say that offenders
are let off with minimal punishment.
