| Haditha Massacre in Iraq |
Saturday 19: In rural Haditha, north west of Bagdad, Iraq – United States Marines massacre 30 unarmed civilians including women and children (including a 76-year-old civilian in a wheelchair) in response to a roadside bomb explosion, near their (thin-skinned) 'Humvee supply convoy' through a known insurgent-rife area, which killed one Marine.

| 1. | US Marine Lance Corp Miguel Terrazas dies in road-side bomb attack on a convoy of four American Humvees, and two others are injured. US troops then "go on rampage". |
|
| 2. | At Marine roadblock, four students and their taxi driver shot dead. | |
| 3. | At least eight people killed in one of three houses. | |
| 4. | Seven killed in a second house. | |
| 5. | In a third house four brothers are put in a wardrobe and then shot dead. | |

However, the US Marine Corps releases a report that: '15 Iraqis had been killed in the [Haditha] bombing', and others have been killed in an 'ensuing firefight'.
The long delayed US Military Court prosecution arising from killing 24 unarmed civilians, including children, drops charges against all except the unit commander whom they charged only with 'dereliction of duty' (in January 2012) to which he confesses, with a maximum sentence of three months imprisonment, which deeply disgusts the victims' community and provokes further anti-American sentiment in the Middle East.
