RAMADI, Iraq, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Iraqi police and hospital officials said a woman and two children were among five people killed in an air strike on a car on Thursday, but the U.S. military said it was unaware of any such incident.

Captain Ahmed Ali of the Jazeera police station in Ramadi, a bastion of the Sunni insurgency, said the bodies of two men, two children and a woman had been recovered at the scene, in the Albu Ubeid area, 10 km (six miles) northeast of the city.

Raed Mohammed, a doctor at a local clinic, also said he saw the five bodies. Ramadi, 110 km (70 miles) west of Baghdad, is the capital of Anbar province.

"There are no reports that match anything like this," a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad said in response to an inquiry.

When four women were among eight people killed in a U.S. air strike on a house in another violent area on Wednesday, the U.S. military accused militants of placing civilians in danger and repeated its policy of seeking to avoid innocent casualties.

The deaths of women and children in military operations is a common cause of resentment among Iraqis against U.S. forces.

Anyone with one active brain cell really believe the US would ADMIT to this?

Hell, they've killed us Canuks with "friendly fire"
