A diplomatic cable made available by Wikileaks has alleged US soldiers killed Iraqi civilians in 2006.
The cable shows evidence that American troops executed at least 10 Iraqi civilians, including four women and five children. The children were all five years old or younger.
The incident, which happened in the central Iraqi town of Ishaqi, about 130 kilometers northwest of the capital Baghdad, was revealed by a UN official.
According to an allegation made by the same official, US troops, after the incident, called for an airstrike on the house to destroy any evidence of the murders.
Troops had claimed an al-Qaeda suspect had been in a house in the same area.
Iraqi officials have said a probe will be launched into the massacre.
