Iraqi residents blame U.S. military for rocket attack on residential town, no claim of responsibility

BAQUBA, Iraq (CNN) -- Residents in an Iraqi town northeast of Baghdad blamed U.S. troops for a rocket attack on a residential neighborhood Friday that killed six people and wounded six others, including women and children, a Baquba joint coordination center official said Saturday.

The rocket leveled one of the houses and partially damaged several others.

The official said it is currently unknown who launched the attack in Baquba, which is about 37 miles northeast of Baghdad, and no one has claimed responsibility.

On Saturday the U.S. military declined to immediately comment but said it was investigating the incident.
