Troops shoot, leaving family asking questions August 13, 2003 The death of three children and their father at a US Army checkpoint illustrates the danger civilians face in Iraq, writes Chris Kraul in Baghdad. The Kawaz family had just dropped off grandmother and were heading home in their small car, well in advance of the city's 11pm curfew. No one saw that US soldiers had set up a checkpoint at the intersection ahead. As their car rolled towards the checkpoint, a hail of bullets from US soldiers ripped through their vehicle, killing Adel Kawaz, 44, and three of his children, aged 18, 16 and 8. His wife Anwaar, screaming in vain for the soldiers to stop shooting, survived, as did the couple's 13-year-old daughter. Although major combat operations may be over in Iraq, the Kawaz family's experience again illustrates the danger civilians face under the US-led military occupation. With resistance forces launching grenade, landmine and car bomb attacks on troops daily - another US soldier died on Sunday in a blast in Baqubah - soldiers are on high alert. In this tense and boiling-hot capital patrolled by 36,000 US troops, trigger fingers are at the ready. The shooting of the Kawaz family happened at about 9.15pm on Friday. The army has not released details, but a military spokesman said on Monday that the incident was under investigation theage.com.au

redfish. You said....." There is not as much media coverage of a suicide bombing in Israel because suicide bombings in Israel are as common as field peas. ".... This statement you made is a response to this statement from Me. " "During the Rumsfeld testimony yesterday one senator said where is the outrage why is there not the same media coverage about the obscene murder of a mother and her three Daughters by muslim terrorists."...... You prove the point I was trying to make better than I did. The abuse of prisoners in Iraq was wrong but IMO even more wrong is the murder of a Mom and her three little Daughters by brave muslom terrorists. How can you say what you did...." bombings in Israel are as common as field peas."..... How could you or anyone in the free and civilized world even think this way? How did we get like that in our so called civilized world. What happened was not a suicide bombing, it was to grown muslim men attacking a car which held a Mom and her three little Daughters the oldest of which was 11 years old. And you say it's as common as field peas. Ask yourself how is this common place in your mind. Why is it that no matter what atrocities islam terrorists commit the free world is still afraid to insult islam. Are we so brainwashed into believing in religious freedom that even the murder of a Mother and her three little Daughters has no affect on us. The enemy is RADICAL ISLAM not G W Bush.
