Iraq Anti-Qaeda Fighter Killed With Wife, Son
2012-04-01
[AFP] Unknown gunnies rubbed out a member of the Sahwa anti-Qaeda militia forces along with his wife and son on Saturday north of Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
in Iraq's Diyala province, a security official said.

"Unknown gunnies broke into the house of Atia Khalil, a member of the Sahwa (Awakening) forces in Al-Sadat area, and opened fire on him," killing him, said the official in the Diyala Operations Command.

"The gunnies, who were carrying silenced weapons, also killed his wife, and his son," the official said.

The Sahwa are made up of Sunni rustics who joined forces with the US military against Al-Qaeda from late 2006, helping turn the tide of the insurgency.

#1  When AQ kills innocent women and children on purpose, it seems to cause no indignation, either among Muslims or infidels. But if an American kills an 'innocent child' (whose gun may have been picked up by his brother) in a battle, the whole world wants the American on trial as a war criminal.
