U.S. Snipers Shoot Anything That Moves
By Jo Wilding
Sun Times, South Africa

Sunday 18 April 2004

The Iraqi city of Fallujah has been besieged by the US military since four Americans were killed there and their bodies mutilated. Since the US offensive began, Jo Wilding has been one of the few Westerners who has braved the bullets to deliver medical supplies to the city. Here she tells her disturbing tale of the bloody horror taking place there.

Trucks, oil tankers, tanks are burning on the highway east of Fallujah. A stream of boys and men goes to and from a lorry that is not burnt, stripping it bare. We turn onto the back roads through Abu Ghraib, Nuha and Ahrar singing in Arabic, past vehicles full of people with few possessions heading the other way.

Our bus is following a car with the nephew of a local sheikh and a guide who has contacts with the Mujahedin and has cleared this with them. The reason I am on the bus is that a journalist I know turned up at my door telling me things were desperate in Fallujah. He had been bringing out children with their limbs blown off. [more]
