Iraq: Allied airstrikes kill two children

Associated Press -

Allied warplanes bombed a residential area in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing two children and injuring six people, the official Iraqi News Agency reported.

Maj. Andy White, a U.S. spokesman at the base in Turkey where planes patrolling Iraq are stationed, confirmed that American planes returned fire after being fired on by Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery.

But White said he had "nothing to support claims of damage or injury to civilians."
