The Timesに基づくロシア情報によれば、死者13人の内の6人は「子供」である。場所が小学校なのだから、多数の子供がいたと思われる。
数十人の負傷者の内の何人が子供で、負傷の程度は、などと考えると、文字通りに「胸糞悪く」なる。これは普通(ブッシュらは普通ではない)の哺乳類では当然の生理現象なのである。

29.04.2003 [14:36]
US troops opened fire on demonstrators near Baghdad last night reportedly killing six children and seven adults.
Forty five more Iraqis were injured in the incident in Fallujah as they marched to mark Saddam Hussein's birthday, witnesses said.
Colonel Arnold Bray of the 82nd Airborne Division said that seven demonstrators were shot after US troops came under fire from some members of the crowd.
But witnesses said that the US soldiers were not threatened by the demonstrators who were celebrating Saddam Hussein's birthday.
Mohammed Hamid, a resident of the town which is 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of the capital, said: "The shooting broke out when 500 protestors carrying portraits of Saddam and Iraqi flags approached a school manned by US troops."
Local Iraqis said that the demonstration was conducted by students between the ages of 5 and 20. But Colonel Bray said that some of them were armed. He said: “Ask them which kind of schoolboys carry AK47s.”
The 13 dead were swiftly buried this morning in accordance with Islamic tradition, according to reports from the scene.
The US Army said today that it would deploy up to 4,000 additional military police and infantrymen in Baghdad in the next two weeks to help stem looting and lawlessness in the capital.
Major-General Glenn Webster, deputy commander of US ground forces in Iraq, made the announcement before a meeting with city officials to discuss disorder in the city.
Iraqis have complained that US forces did too little to safeguard Baghdad.
General Webster said that the US military police and other reinforcements would add to more than 12,000 US troops already in Baghdad and that they would mount joint patrols, on foot and in vehicles, with Baghdad police.
The local police force, which appeared to dissolve when American forces took control of the city on April 9, is slowly being revived.
A radio station operated by the US-British coalition said that schools would be reopened when the military decided that conditions were safe.
