U.S.: At Least 7 Iraqis Killed in Mosul Protest
This is a re-run from yesterday...At least seven Iraqis were killed by U.S. forces during a violent demonstration in the northern city of Mosul on Tuesday, a U.S. official at Central Command in Qatar said on Wednesday. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks said demonstrators fired at marines and special operations forces near a government building the Americans had occupied in the center of the city. "Fire was directed at the marines and special operations forces in this complex. It was aimed fire and aimed fire was returned against some of the demonstrators, against some of the agitators climbing the wall of the compound. It was lethal fire," he told a daily news conference.
Hello Joe, I guess you are asking yourself now, how it is possible that the news appears now while it was know yesterday too. Here you have it from Reuters, albeit in a censured half truth version without mentioning shooting into the crowds and the hundreds of wounded. Posted by: Murat 2003-04-16 |
