BAGHDAD, November 28.— Five Iraqi girls and a man were killed on Tuesday by cannon fire from a U.S. tank that aimed at a house in Ramadi, west of Baghdad, ANSA reported.

Meanwhile, the AP reported from Tehran that Iran’s supreme ruler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, blamed the United States on Tuesday for the chaos prevailing in Iraq, and affirmed that the response to sectarian violence should be the withdrawal of the foreign forces.

In a meeting with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Khamenei accused the United States of hiring terrorists to destabilize Iraq, according to a television report.

U.S. President George W. Bush called for his allies in NATO to have greater participation in the aggression against Afghanistan, concretely with more troops for participating in combat.

Bogged down in a problem created by his own aggression, Bush admitted that there are difficulties with the actions being carried out in that Central Asian nation, where there are now 32,000 occupying troops from the foreign alliance, PL reported.

Nations such as Germany, Spain, and to a lesser extent France, opposed sending more of their troops to Afghanistan, in the midst of the turbulent situation there, after more than 120 of the alliance’s troops have been killed.
