Iraqi woman killed at US checkpoint
Saturday 18 December 2004, 20:07 Makka Time, 17:07 GMT

US soldiers have killed an Iraqi woman at a checkpoint in Kirkuk after the driver allegedly failed to stop while in Baiji US contractors have come under attack.

(snip)

"The car failed to stop at a checkpoint manned by the Americans. They opened fire, killing Shakra Ahmad Husain, 27, and wounding her sister and her mother."

It was not immediately possible to obtain comment from the US army in Kirkuk.

I am seeing ugly parallels to another ugly situation. Both unwinnable. I can not believe we took our young kids and put them in that horror!

BRING THEM HOME NOW!
