US warplane bombs wrong house in Iraq

A U.S. warplane has mistakenly bombed a house in northern Iraq, killing several people in an attack likely to inflame anti-American anger ahead of controversial elections due at the end of the month.

Furious residents of the village south of the city of Mosul, say the air strike flattened a villa and killed 14 civilians.

Reuters television pictures showed 14 freshly dug graves after the bombing.

The U.S. military said at least five people died after a warplane bombed the wrong target.
