This is Sajad Haidar Kadim he is five years old.

He is crying in pain and fear because he is receiving medical treatment.

He and his father live in east Baghdad. There was a bombing in their neighbourhood – Obeidi is mostly Shia. The bombers were targeting American soldiers who are in Irak trying to violently subjugate Irak to America’s will. After the bomb the American invaders, the soldiers of the army that illegally invaded Irak, soldiers of the army who have committed one monstrous and barbaric crime after another came under fire. Because this is American soldiers we are talking about they reacted as they always do. They opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit.

Two people were killed by the bomb and seven wounded. Two others were killed and five wounded in the shooting. Two of the people wounded when the Americans opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit were children.

This is Sajad Haidar Kadim he is five years old.

His father was another of the civilians wounded when the Americans opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit. Just like his five year old son was one of the civilians wounded when the Americans opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit.

This is Sajad Haidar Kadim he is five years old.

He was wounded when the Americans opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit. His father was wounded when the Americans opened fire indiscriminately not caring who or what they hit. He is watching his father being wheeled away for treatment.

Nur.
