"2003 - Iraq: 15 unarmed teenagers were killed by American forces in front of a school during a demostration; marking the beginning of the Falluja riots that took place during April 2003."
From the falluja page...
"On the evening of April 28, 2003, a crowd of 200 people defied a curfew imposed by the Americans and gathered outside a occupied local secondary school to protest the presence of Coalition forces in the city and demand its reopening. Following the discharge of some demonstrators' firearms into the air, soldiers stationed at the roof of the building opened fire upon the crowd resulting in the deaths of 13 civilians."
The numbers are different. Anyone want to clarify? Also, might consider adding that there were weapons in the crowd if that actually happened.
