GI’s Kill 2 In Iraqi Family

HeadlineJan 13, 2004

On Monday night in Baghdad, U.S. soldiers killed an Iraqi man and his 10-year-old son who were driving behind a U.S. military convoy. This according to the New York Times. An Iraqi police man told the Times, “You want to know the truth? I’ll tell you the truth. The Americans did this. I know after this conversation they will fire me from my job, but that’s what happened.” Apparently the soldiers opened fire on the car after a roadside bomb went off nearby.
