Probe into new Iraq massacre claim
The US military is investigating an incident in which 11 Iraqi civilians may have been deliberately killed by US troops.
Video footage appears to challenge the US military account of events in the town of Ishaqi in March. The US said at the time that four people died during a raid, but Iraqi police said 11 were shot by US troops.
The video evidence comes in the wake of the alleged massacre by US marines of up to 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha.
The troops are also suspected of covering up the deaths in November 2005. [Iraqi PM Response]
