We condemn the US Army's firing a smoke bomb at our house on Tue. 20 Mar. 2007 around 10 pm.
This act caused many small fires and smoke around the house, with the bomb falling only a yard away from a gas cylinder and a kerosene container, but without causing significant damage.
The bomb contained pink small tablets which caused the fires, and their flames increased whenever water was used in an attempt to distinguish them.
The firing source seemed to be from an Apache helicopter, and came as part of the latest military actions in the area.
Similar bombs fell on nearby houses, with at least one causing significant damages inside one of the houses.
