"The child was taken by an unknown person on a motorcycle to the hospital, and the woman lay down on the edge of the road and did not get up anymore," the Pentagon report says.
CBC sought clarification from Liz Bourgeau, head of the Iraqi air campaign, but said she did not know anything about the incident. At the same time, Bourgeaud noted that "the command is particularly serious about reports of civilian casualties."
