US Marine shoots unarmed hostage
There’s an article on the Italian newspaper “La Repubblica” about a U.S. marine shooting hostages captured during the bloody Falluja strikes. Appearently, last friday (Nov. 12, 2004) a marine squad had captured 5 rebels in the northern part of Falluja, and kept them in a mosque, unarmed. They were in good health. Saturday, Kevin Sites, NBC reporter, heard some shooting noises coming from inside the mosque, and once inside, he saw a soldier talking with his lieutenant, who was asking if he shot the prisoners. The soldier chuckled. 3 prisoners were heavily wounded, and one was dead. The article says the marine responsible for the killing of the helpless iraqi man is now suspended.
