Michael Yon: Bless the Beasts and the Children, Part 2
This photo was taken just near the disinterred graves of Iraqi civilians murdered by al Qaeda. As this photo was made, Captain Bakers soldiers were still digging out the bodies nearby. The stench from the graves was horrific. The children had been decapitated. The term al Qaeda is used here, because Iraqi police, soldiers and civilians said al Qaeda had taken the village of al Hamira and done this. Most of al Qaeda in Iraq consists of Iraqis, not foreigners. Even the animals had been murdered. I saw these things with my own eyes, recorded them with my video and still cameras, and provided the map coordinates and names of American and Iraqi officials. Media ignored this massacre until pressure mounted from home to report it.Video interview with Captain Baker at the link. Posted by: Mike 2007-07-19 |
