A 12-year old survivor of the alleged massacre of innocent civilians by U.S. Marines patrolling Haditha has admitted she had prior knowledge of the plot to detonate an IED as their convoy was passing by her house on the morning of Nov. 19, 2005.
In a CNN interview broadcast Wednesday, Safa Younis - who says eight members of her family were killed by U.S. troops - recalled that she was getting ready for school as the Marine Humvee approached.
"I was planning to go to school. I was about to go out of bed. I knew the bomb would explode so I covered my ears," the youngster said, according to a CNN translator.
"The bomb [then] exploded," she explained. "The bomb struck an armored vehicle. I don't know if it was a Humvee or an armored vehicle. When the bomb exploded, they came straight to my house."
Younis complained that after the bombing killed Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas, his fellow Marines broke down the front door of her house.
"The American forces entered the house and started shooting with their guns. They killed my mother and my sister Nour. They killed her when she shot her in the head. She was only 15 years old. My other sister was shot with seven bullets in the head and she was only 10 years old."
The Haditha co-conspirator continued:
"And my brother Muhammad was hiding under the bed when the U.S. military hit him with the butt of the gun and the started shooting him under the bed. The U.S. military then shot me and I was showered in blood. We couldn't leave the house because the U.S. military surrounded the area with a large number of soldiers."
Younis said she survived by pretending to be dead.
But the "innocent" Haditha 12-year-old failed to give any further details about which other family members knew about the bomb plot. Or whether one of her relatives had detonated the blast.
I recall the horrific graphic photos of the executed Chinese women shot by a Chinese soldier...that is passed around here occasionally. One shot literally blew half the head away.
Seven times to the head? Gimme a break.
She was covering her ears either as a random event or because her brother was standing next to her with the detonator.
He hit it as they both looked out the window.
This thing is getting more holes in it by the minute. Please let it be brought to light.
This may be what you were referring to.
Strange indeed..like this one who has now had a total of 4 versions of what happened
Safa Younis Salim, the 12-year-old, said she lay on the ground, covered with her sister's blood, and pretended to be dead while her family died around her. Her sister's blood spurted fast; it was like a water tap, she said.

There was one survivor, Safa Younis Salim, 13, who in an interview said she lived by faking her death. "I pretended that I was dead when my brother's body fell on me and he was bleeding like a faucet," she said.

Only 13-year-old Safa Younis lived -- saved, she said, by her mother's blood spilling onto her, making her look dead when she fell, limp, in a faint.

"Bogus!!!"
You called? I am here!
This "IUD" had to be set off precisely when the vehicle was passing it. Someone had to be very close by to do that. I have no doubt it was someone in that house, as they all knew about it.

RALEIGH, N.C., May 26 -- The Marine Corps dropped murder charges Thursday against an officer accused of riddling two Iraqis with bullets and hanging a warning sign on their corpses as a grisly example to other suspected insurgents.
Autopsies conducted on the Iraqis' exhumed bodies backed 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano's assertion that he shot them in self-defense after the men disobeyed his instructions and made a menacing move toward him, Marine officials said.
Haditha Child: I Knew of Bomb Plot to Kill Marines ping!
CNN contacted (or is that contracted?) the Human Rights group to get the interview.
This was posted Thursday. This shows a serious discrepancy in this child's memory as it is being reported.

Coop this is nothing more than a trap for our guys, the story changes everyday, little details like this one young girl account. How many BDU's have been reported stolen or missing, whos to say the moles from the Iraqi Army are not doing this dressed as Marines?

Indeed. None of the "Iraqi accounts" hold much water after parsing them. It shouldn't be that difficult for the military to figure this out. Separate all involved, question them all, and put it together, ... or not.
This is the correct link to the previous thread:

I believe the shrapnel came from the IED that was reported as killing the Iraqis. THAT IED, I believe is not the IED that killed the Marine. I believe a second IED is described here...not one imbedded in the road...one that was created by a grenade exploding a propane tank inside the house.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen killed one Russian embassy employee and kidnapped four others in Baghdad on Saturday, Russian and Iraqi officials said, in the latest attack on foreigners in the lawless capital.
A car bomb in the southern city of Basra killed at least 15 people and wounded 30, police said. It came three days after new Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced a security crackdown there.

The psychology behind Islam is just mind blowing, isn't it?
I may have taken things to the extreme as a mother. I never wanted my children to associate pain with me, their mother. I never allowed a nurse to so much as prick them for blood in my presence when they were little. Safety, comfort, life and love, and a trust that I would never hurt them were the principles that guided me.
Probably simple enough to disprove or prove based on an autopsy.
maybe the Marines are using sling shots now.... 7 times to the head may kill him...
I don't give a flying f--- if civilians knew of the bomb. Nothing short of a direct threat from armed civilians justifies slaughtering them.
