As U.S. Forces Raided a Mosque

U.S. soldiers raided the Abu Hanifa mosque in Baghdad during Friday prayers, killing at least four and wounding up to 20 worshippers.
”We were here praying and now there are 50 here with their guns on us,” he said. ”They are holding our heads to the ground, and everyone is in chaos. This is the worst situation possible. They cannot see me talking to you. They are roughing up a blind man now.” He evidently could talk no further then.
About 30 men were led out with hoods over their heads and their hands tied behind them. Soldiers loaded them into a military vehicle and took them away around 3.15 pm.
A doctor with the Iraqi Red Crescent confirmed four dead and nine wounded worshippers. Pieces of brain were splattered on one of the walls inside the mosque while large blood stains covered carpets at several places.

I suppose this reporter will receive death threats, also!

Here's another report on this:


Interesting that MSNBC tends to blame the worst of the events on the Iraqi National Guardsmen.
But, they do report that there were raids on several mosques, as well as at least one "insurgent hospital" - so-called because of bodies of suspected insurgents in the morgue. It also mentions stealing relief funds from a mosque.

Glad that the adminstration keeps telling us what a good job we're doing over there, because otherwise we might think that it's a disaster!
