Iraq
BOMB dropped on Human Shields
2003-04-01
If it weren't for the reliability of the newspaper, I'd think it were an April fools joke. It IS true however. From the Daily telegraph mirror
SEVERAL people were wounded when a US warplane bombed two Iraqi buses carrying international volunteers, some of them American, who were operating as "human shields", Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf said.

#12  Which direction were the buses travelling? Delivering Human Shields to Amman or jihadi to Bagdad?

On second thought, either direction passengers are fair game.

#10  It is a long way from the border to Baghdad. Might have to rename it the Extra Long Highway of Death.

#9  Were they strapped to the outside to shield the buses, or did they screw that up, too?

#7  Well, that's IS why they're there. Good to see the USAF is also doing their job.

#6  I heard on the radio this morning that the peace groups in Jordan, know nothing about this. I wonder if these human shields were the type looking to strap on bombs? Another message of "don't get involved maybe being sent".

#4  I can't believe they were merely wounded. That's a new low in Iraqi insults!
