"May God's curse fall upon the Americans, for they have no fear of God. Are these American human rights?" asked Mohfen Herish, a cousin of Mohammed.


Mohammed's 48-year-old brother, whose given name also is Mohammed, said an American officer came to the house of his dead brother about 9 a.m. Tuesday and inspected the damage. Mohammed said the officer, speaking through an interpreter, apologized and said "We are here to protect you."


"I replied 'If this is your protection we don't need it.' The Americans think we are protecting Saddam's people, but in our village we never even liked Saddam," the brother said. He said he did not have the name of the U.S. officer.
