The Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre[1][2] (Arabic: مجزرة حفلة عرس مكر الذيب, romanized: Majzarat haflat eurs Makr Alldhiyb) refers to the U.S. military's attack on a wedding party in Mukaradeeb, a small village in Anbar Province, Iraq near the border with Syria, on 19 May 2004. The attack killed 42 civilians and wounded many others. The U.S. military denied that a wedding had been hit, claiming the location was a legitimate military target and that insurgents had been killed. U.S. military generals refused to apologize for the massacre.[3]
