Brumar, You are not likely to get a response from the antiwar folk here for that article. The article supports the idea that Iraq is in the control of a tyrannical regime.

If Iraqis fired on aid queue, why was nobody killed? Or perhaps they did not fire at the queue but the US & UK soldiers? Has your "embedded journalist" thought of that glaring possibility? Meanwhile, US & UK missiles killed 15 and badly injured 30 people in a market place in Baghdad yesterday. Maybe you did not hear about it, because the "embedded" journalists did not think to mention it. It happened, though.

Just a side note... did you know that Sky News is from the same stable as Fox? Both owned by that wonderful voice of freedom, Murdoch. <edit> and his UK papers, especially the toilet paper sold as 'The Sun', tend to the gung-ho "death to ragheads" stance. Anyhow, I'd think it more probable that the troops rather than the crowd around them were the target. Not that I expect Saddam's forces to care if they kill their own people (and mortars are not exactly precise weapons!), just that I think they'd more likely be aiming for us - and if that discourages their own civilians from seeking aid from us, well and good for them.
