HW:35 American Raids
Posted by pgraham on April 9th, 2008
On page 58, Riverbend describes a situation where an 11 year old child heard a loud noise outside of his house. The boy, named Mohammed Al-Kubeisi, was a native living in Baghdad. One day he heard a noise outside his house and ran to his second floor balcony to see what was going on. As he reached the porch he was gunned down. The people that shot him were Americans during a raid. His house was raided and nothing that was suspiscious was found. So why did Americans raid the innocent house? Thats the question that many Iraqi citizens have been asking.
