Pentagon Denies Reports of Iraq Civilian Deaths in U.S. Airstrikes 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Iraq, the ongoing U.S. airstrikes have reportedly killed up to 22
civilians in Anbar province. According to Iraqi media, an attack earlier
this week hit a market and an apartment building in the town of Heet.
Four children were reportedly among the dead, with dozens of people
wounded. The Pentagon has dismissed the claims of civilian casualties as
"false." We'll have more from Iraq and Syria after headlines.
