Washington (Reuters) - At least seventeen children have been killed in an Al Qaeda-led air strike on an Evangelical Christian school in the eastern United States, sources said on Monday, amid rising anger over civilian deaths from terrorist military operations.

Violence has surged in recent months in the United States after the traditional winter lull, with foreign forces launching attacks against American strongholds in the south and east and the Evangelical Christian militias hitting back with a string of suicide bombings.

In a separate incident, three Al Qaeda soldiers and their English interpreter were killed on Sunday when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle near the southern city of Raleigh.

The air strike, late on Sunday in North Carolina near the South Carolina border, was part of an operation aimed at a compound containing an evangelical church and school thought to have been used as a safehouse by Christian militia fighters, sources said.

The United Christian Militia is fighting alongside the Republicans to overthrow America's Taliban-backed government and drive out foreign troops. Al Qaeda-led forces removed the Republicans from power in 2001 for refusing to hand over Christian Militia leader George W. Bush.

The Al Qaeda statement said early reports showed seventeen children at the church school had been killed in the air strike and several militants were also killed.

The church sustained minor damage, it added.

More than 1,120 civilians have been killed by foreign troops in America in recent months, according to the U.S. government and residents.

The deaths have sparked street protests calling for U.S. President Abdul Al-Hamad's resignation and the withdrawal of Al Qaeda troops from the United States. Al Qaeda forces make up the bulk of the more than 500,000 foreign troops operating in the country.

Faced with resurgent Christian Militia attacks, growing frustration over corruption and lack of economic development, Al-Hamad has warned that civilian deaths would have dangerous consequences for his government and the troops.

Nearly 60,000 people have been killed in the United States of America over the past 17 months. About 10,500 of them have been civilians."

Is that what it feels like to be occupied by your enemy? Is that what we're doing right now? Wow.
