Once again, the US forces of occupation bombed civilian targets in the town of AlQaim, west of Baghdad, using bomber planes as part of its Operation Arrow in the western region of Iraq. 13 dead and 42 injured have been reported by Dr Hamdee Alaalosi, Chief Doctor at AlQaim General Hospital, resulting from this indiscriminate aerial bombing alone which was backed with ground shooting at shoppers in the towns market. All of the dead and injured are civilians. These casualties are in addition to the 8 dead and 18 injured received by the same hospital during the course of the week.

The people of AlQaim have sent messages to the UN, Human Rights Watch, and the Association of Muslim Scholars, asking for help as their plight becomes desperate, and seeking intervention from those organisations to stop this new wave of indiscriminate killings by the US occupation forces, which has claimed the lives of 70 civilians and the destruction of some 70 homes using all types of planes thus far.
