<snip>Hundreds of civilian deaths in the US-led invasion of Iraq could have been prevented, says Human Rights Watch.
A new report by the New York-based group, entitled "Off Target", examines but the circumstances in which civilians were killed.

It concludes that many deaths could have been avoided if the US and Britain had abandoned what it calls "two mis-guided military tactics".

Cluster bombs and attacks on Iraqi leaders are singled out for criticism.

This is a thorough and thought-provoking report from an organisation with a strong track record in analysing civilian casualties in warfare.
