The Fallujah killings of April 2003 began when United States Army soldiers from the American 1st Battalion, 325th Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division fired into a crowd of Iraqi civilians who were protesting their presence at a school within the city of Fallujah by throwing rocks and firing weapons. The soldiers claimed they were receiving fire from the crowd, whereas the civilians said they were shot at first. Human Rights Watch, which inspected the area after the incident, found no physical evidence of shots fired at the building where U.S. forces were based. However, The New York Times reporting on the incident confirmed the soldier's reports of fire on their position by observing bullet marks the next day. Neighbors also confirmed there were armed protestors firing, though

  • مجزرة الفلوجة هي جريمة حرب وإبادة جماعية إرتكبتها القوات الأمريكية في مدينة الفلوجة. وقعت المجزرة في يوم 28 أبريل 2003 عندما أطلقت القوات الأمريكية النار على مدنيين كانوا يتظاهرون ضد وجود القوات الأمريكية في الفلوجة. إدعى الجنود الأمريكيون بأنهم كانوا يتعرضون لإطلاق نار من قبل المتظاهرين، ولكن منظمة هيومن رايتس ووتش التي عاينت مكان المجزرة قالت بأنها لم تجد أي دليل مادي يثبت إطلاق النار على مكان تواجد القوات الأمريكية.
