Death of Iraqi brothers sparks anti-U.S. rage

BAGHDAD, Aug 18 (Reuters) - An angry Iraqi crowd carried coffins through a Baghdad district on Thursday and threw rocks at American soldiers, accusing U.S. troops of killing three innocent middle-aged brothers, one of them in a wheelchair.

The U.S. military said they had killed three "terrorists".

"They call everybody terrorists but they just commit terrorist acts whenever they want," said Mohsen Thabit, a friend of the men whom neighbours found shot in the head at home after a raid by U.S. and Iraqi troops in the Amiriya district overnight.

The bodies of Khalil, Khalid and Jamal Hussein, filmed by a neighbour, lay sprawled in their home, that of the crippled Khalil lying in the bathroom next to his wheelchair.



Iraqi men look at the body of a man who was killed during a raid in the Amariya area of west Baghdad August 18, 2005. Three civilians were shot dead after a raid on their house by U.S. and Iraqi troops, witnesses said. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military.
