The strike took place after the troops saw an armed man moving into a nearby group of buildings, the officials said. [emphasis added]
So it doesn't even take a claim that "an armed man" moved into that particular house they chose to bomb without knowing who else might be inside. It only had to be a "nearby" building. Close enough. They were only Iraqis.
