Blast shows deep Iraqi mistrust of Americans

Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 12:44 PM by seemslikeadream

Iraqis were probably asleep when two explosions hit a Polish-run military base, killing at least 11 people. But that didn't stop them from drawing the shocking conclusion that the U.S. planes fired rockets at them.

"This is typical of the Americans. We know what they are like," said Dr. Sattar al-Jishaamee. "People will be much more anti-American now."

"I was sleeping when I heard one rocket and then another. It was American planes firing rockets. I felt blood dripping down my head,"said Jamal Amin, 19, from his hospital bed.

1. Duplicate

A "different take" on the same story is still a duplicate. Let's keep all discussion of the event in one thread. Thanks.
