In the article you posted, the American military admitted at the time that it had demolished the house using a ground attack and airstrikes, but only after insurgents began firing from the building and claimed that only three civilians -- two women and a child -- and one insurgent were killed in the attack. They claimed that eyewitness accounts of the incident were likely false, and later said the matter warranted no further investigation. The officials refused to reveal unit identities which might have taken part in the killings. The cable supports the original report, is substantiated by the doctors who performed the autopsies and gives validity to the accusation that "the American forces gathered the family members in one room and executed 11 persons, including five children, four women and two men. Then they bombed the house, burned three vehicles and killed their animals,”.
