Could someone please provide examples and sources of when civilians have been targetted in Iraq? (the bombing of schools, hospitals, etc)

Any help would be appreciated.

Targetting by the US and it's allies or by these "resistance" fighters?

Both/either.

Well I wouldn't have specific examples on hand but consider that the US bombed Iraq constantly since Clinton's presidency before invasion was even considered and that every other day we hear about a bombing in some anonymous market in Baghdad which kills hundreds of innocent people.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, what was this for anyway?

Thanks for your help, but I need concrete examples.

I have to prepare a debate called, 'Iraq: Who are the real terrorists?' for university. I don't actually have to have the debate, so it seems quite pointless to me. But it's worth quite a large part of my grade so...

I'm not aware of any times when civilians have been specifically targeted other than perhaps certain "civilian" targets such as mosques,etc. However, the most memorable moment in which heavy civilian casualties occured was probably at the Battle for Fallujah in which white phosphorus was actually used.

Well for one example there's the massacre at Haditha.
