Father of newly dead Marine sets himself and gov't. van on fire By The Associated Press (8/25/04 - HOLLYWOOD, FL) — A man who had just been told his Marine son had been killed in combat in Iraq set fire to a Marine Corps van and suffered severe burns Wednesday, police said. Three Marines went to a house in Hollywood to tell the parents of Pfc. Alexander Arredondo that the 20-year-old died Tuesday in Najaf, according to police and television reports. Carlos Arredondo, 44, then walked out of the house with a torch and what appeared to be a container of flammable liquid, reports said. Police said that despite the Marines' efforts to stop him, Arredondo set the van and himself on fire. The Marines pulled him out of the burning vehicle and put out the flames, police said. Arredondo was listed in serious condition at a Miami hospital. "We have not seen this type of reaction. Every reaction is negative, it's the loss of a loved one," said Marines spokesman Maj. Scott Mack. "I don't think any of us are qualified to go into the depths of the mind and truly anticipate how somebody is going to react." abclocal.go.com
