US military: soldier shot at Quran for practice

By KIM GAMEL, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago

An American soldier used a Quran, the Islamic holy book, for target practice in a predominantly Sunni area west of Baghdad, prompting an apology from the U.S. military, a spokesman said Sunday.

Separately, mortar shells slammed into a residential area north of the Iraqi capital, killing at least four people and wounding 30, most children playing outside, officials said Sunday.

No apology for having killed and wounded the children?
