The U.S. Central Command acknowledged firing on a vehicle near the central city of Najaf after its driver ignored orders to stop and a warning shot.
"As a last resort the soldiers fired into the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Inside the vehicle they found 13 women and children. Seven of the occupants were dead. Two were wounded. Four were unharmed," a spokesman said.

contrast that is this report: "It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen, and I hope I never see it again," Sgt. Mario Manzano, 26, an Army medic later told the Post. Manzano said one of the women sat in the van holding the mangled bodies of two of her children. "She didn't want to get out of the car," he told the newspaper.
Presumably this woman was one of the people this spokesman referred to as "unharmed"
