Matthew Schofield, McClatchy Newspapers: 'A US diplomatic cable made public by WikiLeaks provides evidence that U.S. troops executed at least 10 Iraqi civilians, including a woman in her 70s and a 5-month-old infant, then called in an airstrike to destroy the evidence, during a controversial 2006 incident in the central Iraqi town of Ishaqi.

U.S. officials denied at the time that anything inappropriate had occurred.'
