"The US forces have violated human rights many times across Iraq," said Omar al-Juburi, spokesman for the human rights section of the party led by Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi.
In the latest in a string of allegations against US forces, Juburi said 29 Iraqis were killed in May in separate incidents in the towns of Latifiyah and Yusifiyah, south of Baghdad, and in the capital itself.
"On May 13, US forces launched an air assault on a civilian car in Latifiyah and killed six people," Juburi told reporters.
"On the same day US aircraft attacked the house of a civilian, Saadun Mohsen Hassan, and killed seven members of his family," he added.
Juburi said US forces carried out another air strike the next day on the house of Sheikh Yassin Saleh Shallal in Yusifiyah, "killing 13 people -- including women and children."
Three other Iraqis were killed in US raids in Baghdad, he said.
In this country we need to brace ourselves for what is going to be an unbelievable amount of bad news. I think when all is said and done we will view our military and our leadership with new eyes.
