Excerpt: Fighting in a southeastern neighborhood here between the U.S. military and Shiite militias left at least 16 people dead Thursday, including a Reuters photographer and driver who were covering the turbulence, an official at the Interior Ministry said.
There were conflicting reports of how the two Reuters staffers, both of whom were Iraqi, were killed, but witnesses at the scene said they died when troops on a U.S. helicopter shot into the area where the two had just gotten out of their car, said a photographer who arrived at the scene shortly after their bodies were taken away.
The Reuters employees were Namir Noor-Eldeen, 22, the photographer, and Saeed Chmagh, 40. |

Reporter Terry Lloyd suffered a serious but non-fatal wound and was transferred to a makeshift ambulance. But that vehicle was then fired upon and he was killed.

Author: U.S. purposely bombed Al-Jazeera office in 2001| |
Excerpt: "On November 13, a hectic day when Kabul fell to the Northern Alliance and there were celebrations in the streets of the city, a U.S. missile obliterated Al-Jazeera's office," Suskind wrote in the book The One Percent Doctrine. Inside the CIA and White House there was satisfaction that a message had been sent to Al-Jazeera ... The Pentagon asserted then, without providing additional detail, that the office was a "known al-Qaeda facility" and that the U.S. military did not know that the space was being used by Al-Jazeera. |
