6 detainees killed in attack on U.S.-run prison in S Iraq
2007-06-10
(Xinhua) -- Six civilian detainees were killed and at least 50 wounded in rocket or mortar attack on a U.S.-run detention facility on Saturday in southern Iraq, the military said. The six were killed when the Multi-National Force-Iraq Theater Internment Facility at Camp Bucca near the city of Basra was attacked by "indirect fire," which usually refers to rocket or mortar attack, according to a brief statement. The statement said that no U.S. service members were killed or injured in the attack. The names of those killed are being withheld until families have been notified.

#3  More?

Are you sure those weren't people we needed to keep alive, for one reason or another?

It is not in our interests for people in Iraq to be killed on suspicion of being snitches, whether it's true or not.
