An American tank fired a single round into the 15th floor of a hotel packed with foreign journalists yesterday, killing two cameramen.
Facing intense criticism, the Pentagon said snipers had been firing on troops from the Hotel Palestine. But journalists said they had not heard any gunshots.

(60,010 posts)what before was a wedding party or a family of 12 in a mud walled hut or a roomful of journalists or a school of children or a hospital of patients become
