Living Victim in Baghdad

Detroit Free Press

A blanket is pulled over a woman who died on the operating table in a Baghdad hospital in April. The woman was caught looting a store and was shot in the head. After the fall of Baghdad looting was a popular way for people to get what they did not have and with no police force business owners took matters into their own hands.
