Isn't this a form of STATE TERRORISM? Have the terrorists hunters become the terrorists?
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A young woman's severed head and torso and a small boy's body were pulled Tuesday from a smoking crater carved into the earth by four U.S. bombs, so powerful they yanked orange trees from their roots. But there was no sign of the man those bombs were aimed at: Saddam Hussein.
For the second time in the war, coalition forces were wondering whether they'd gotten their man. One thing was all too clear, though: once again, civilians had suffered.
When the broken body of the 20-year-old woman was brought out torso first, then the head her mother started crying uncontrollably, then collapsed. She was helped into a car by two male relatives.
Across the street from the crater, which lay amid the ruins of three homes, relatives squatted on the sidewalk and watched as rescue workers and volunteers, using a bulldozer and their bare hands, searched for their loved ones. Some wept; others just buried their faces in their hands. |
