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."
RedRover posted some notes earlier today, where this came from:
... did you ever hear of testimony that car was already stopped and men out of car when IED went off... already standing... some of them... with hands on top of head at that time?I think that's new, Red. How about they had their thumbs in their ears to mute the blast?
If they were already stopped, and some out of the vehicle watching, I'm sure they also had their ears covered.
