| The U.S. military said on Thursday "it was entirely possible" that an Iraqi missile was responsible for the marketplace explosion in Baghdad that killed 14 civilians. Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said there was an Iraqi missile battery near the neighborhood and that Iraqi has been using old missile stock fired with guidance systems turned off. "We think it is entirely possible that this may have been an Iraqi missile that went up and came down," Brooks said. He the United States had an air mission in the area but not in the neighborhood that was devasted by the explosion. |
